If you’ve followed my blog over the last several years, you might remember that I occasionally create challenges for myself to explore, learn, and share what I discover. Last December, I challenged myself to explore 24 Days of Teaching and Learning Resources.
My challenge for April is to explore something new each day and share what I discover. Hopefully, I won't let you or myself down!
Today I am exploring the Learning Technology Center Website and the collection of Educational Badges and Certificates on the site. I explored many of these certifications in the past, but I am quickly learning that I need to up my game.
Many EdTech Companies offer free certifications. These certifications are great opportunities to learn about the tools, but the best of them also engage educators in exploring best practices connected to teaching and learning. Pedagogy before the tech is best, right?
Need some help getting started? Here are some of the certification programs that I would recommend to start.
- Adobe Creative Educator
- Apple Learning Coach
- Google Certified Educator
- Flip Certified Educator
- Microsoft Educator Programs
- Pear Deck Inspearational Educator
- Newsela Certified Educator
- Wakelet Ambassador
Additional Learning Resources

- Google for Education PD Choice Board
