The game:
Your quest for knowledge begins now. Each class comes with a variety of tech related tasks you need to complete. It is your job to figure out the best way to complete each step. A list of resources has been provided for you. The goal is to help you become a technology leader for your team. No one person can know everything but if everyone knows something then that's a good start.
How to advance:
1. Choose an area of professional growth in which you are interested in your building skills.
2. Complete the challenges listed under each class to advance through the ranks.
3. You must complete all the challenges for each class before you can advance to the next.
4. Submit evidence of completion through whatever means seems most appropriate. Evidence can be screen shots, descriptions of what you did, survey results, finished projects, etc.
5. Check the game boards in the lounge to see your progress!

Things to remember:
1. Don't freak out! It may look like a lot, but many of these tasks go hand in hand with each other. For example, if you create a social media account for classroom use, there's a good chance you'll be using it in some way.
2. This should be both fun and educational. If you are getting stressed out, take a step back. Integrating these technologies into your teaching should be rewarding for you and your students.
