How are teachers using iDEA?

Teachers are using iDEA in a number of ways, some examples below:

• Mapping Badges to curricula and incorporating them in schemes of work
• Extra curricula lunch or after-school clubs (sometimes these are run by their own ‘digital leaders’)
• Setting Badges as homework to reinforce/support what was covered in lesson time
• Using iDEA Badges to expand the in-class conversation and empower students to share their thinking
• Using iDEA Badges to help introduce a topic before teaching a lesson on it
• Asking the students to pick their favourite Badge, do further research on the topic and present to the class
• Lots of teachers use iDEA for their own CPD – the iDEA Record of Achievement is often used to provide evidence of this
