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?

Q1: Digital badges are popping up in PD, student learning, and even hiring. What’s your experience with earning or issuing badges? Have they been meaningful to you?

For as long as I’ve ever known, my family has been “visited” by the Giant Turkey on Thanksgiving Eve. He brings the kids cereal for breakfast, a toy to play with, & some gum to chew — all things that occupied us while Mom cooked. 🤣 So, on my 45th Thanksgiving, I wish u all a gobbley day! 🦃🧡 #EduSky
