TCC issues digital credentials (aka badges) to conference participants based on achievement or being nominated from other attendees.
Did you really enjoy a certain presentation? Nominate the presenter for a digital badge to show your support and recognize outstanding work. Was there a facilitator who assisted presenters by providing both technical and emotional support? Engage with participants in discussion threads, blog posts, Twitter, Instagram or other social media about your conference experience to earn a digital badge.
These digital credentials are designed around the goals and values of the TCC Online Conference to celebrate professional development, global community-building, and increasing our shared knowledge of using modern technologies for learning, teaching, creative expression and building 21st Century learning skills.
