> Digital Badging in the Library Community (Infopeople) (3:00-4:00)
> Want to know how you can use technology to create a virtual record of achievement? Even in today’s online world, the validation of professional growth is still critical, however small, online badges have now replaced those big, paper records in many cases. Your library can also give out badges to add validity to the programs you offer, and your staff can collect their own to demonstrate professional development and achievement. Digital badging isn’t hard and it’s not expensive. This webinar will be of interest to all public library staff interested in learning how to create and use digital badging with their library’s training and programming.
