Not gonna lie -- This #EduSkyChat filled my heart tonight. I know that there are challenges to digital credentials and the ecosystem at large, but CHEERS to a group of educators sharing their appreciation of a new-version of education and learning! #EduSkyChat

A3: It's vital that we design OPEN badges moving forward. The technology behind building the metadata into the digital badge images is changing the way employers and higher-ed institutions verify skills rather than just claims on an application or resume. TRANSPARENT EARNING! #EduSkyChat

I also find that there's confusion around digital credential vocabulary. Which word do you use when? And does it mean what we want it to mean? I worked with IMS Global (Now 1EdTech) back in 2020 to redesign openbadges.org for this exact purpose!! #EduSkyChat

Q2: Competency-based learning shifts the focus from ‘seat time’ to demonstrated skills. How do you see this approach benefiting (or challenging) K-12 education?

A2: engaging with chambers of commerce in your city is a great start to learning more about the industries that are present & even forge parternships w/ city orgs there. Inviting guest speakers, planning industry field trips, & reaching out to caregivers who work locally are also options #EduSkyChat
