Dr. Erin Besser is the newest member of the MS in Educational Technology Program faculty at California State University, Fullerton. In this session, we have a conversation about one of Dr. Besser’s expertise: digital badging. She discusses how digital badging works and how it can be used in K-12. We also talk about how Dr. Besser first started integrating technology into her elementary classroom. We end with Dr. Besser sharing two research areas she is exploring. We hope you enjoy this session and the reboot of the Educator to Educator podcast! If you like what you hear, please consider subscribing to the podcast and giving us a shout-out on social media.
