5C Badge Program Reminder

Would you like a Chromebook that you can use whenever you want? Even take it home to use there too? Complete the Frisco ISD Tech Department's 5C Badge program and a chromebook is yours (as long as you remain employed by FISD). 

Work with your DLC (Penney Matos) to create lessons that integrate 5C skills into your curriculum using technology to showcase the 5C skill. 

Let me know if you're interested and I'll enroll you in the 5C Badge program Canvas course!
