Hi there, Jeremy.

I have an instructor asking if the challenges can count toward professional development hours. Do you happen to know the answer to this?

Sincerely,

💻 Join the GEG Michigan Tech Challenge!💻

Jeremy Badiner <jbad...@badinerbytes.com>: Feb 04 12:21PM -0500 The GEG Michigan Tech Challenge is BACK!     This is open to EVERYONE, not just Classroom Teachers!   Learn Some Easy Tech Tools & Have Some FUN!!!   Your challenge, if you choose to accept it, is to learn some helpful tech tools and earn awesome badges. Each week for 10 weeks I will post an easy and short tech challenge (some of which you might already be using). Each challenge is posted with my "how-to" steps to help you succeed.   -   If you complete the challenge you will be awarded that challenge's badge . -   If you complete the challenge in the assigned week you will also earn a point to be added to the Leaderboard (you will choose a username so others will not know who is in the competition if you want to remain secret) . -   After all the challenges are assigned anyone completing all the challenges will receive a certificate.     Keep in mind that you can use anyone as a resource: friends, family, and even students!   Want to see what this is all about? Check out last year’s challenges here to see what type of stuff you will explore: bit.ly/TechChallengeGL24   REMEMBER:   -   This is open to EVERYONE, not just Classroom Teachers! -   You don’t have to do every challenge to participate (only if you want to earn the badge and points). -   You can complete challenges at any time, even after the due date, to earn the badge (and half point). -   To earn the full point you must complete the challenge by the following Sunday at 8:00 pm. -   There is no pressure and this is for fun, but it's a great chance to try something new. -   Remember, you can ask for help from your friends, family, students, and especially your Tech Coach. -   This is for FUN so no extra stress!     WHERE TO FIND CURRENT CHALLENGES:   Once you accept the Challenge you will get steps to add yourself to the "Tech Challenge 2025" Google Classroom. All communication will be through this Google Classroom. Make sure to enable notifications <https://drive.google.com/file/d/1MDUlRLmlaEawggI3OYEqmF04b1XOjcqM/view?usp=sharing> for this Classroom so that when new Challenges are added every Monday morning at 8:00 am you will receive an email.   Get ready to get your Tech Geek On and have some FUN!       Click Here to Sign Up for the Tech Challenge! <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScpEH-527c9lF_PSTWoQHUcJF4OkXqhGniwaBOmK2rb--rwWg/viewform>     If you want to join in on all the fun you must fill in the above form no later than Friday, February 21 at 5:00 PM.   The first Challenge will be sent out on Monday, February 24.   Check out this year’s Challenge Website: bit.ly/GEGmiTechChallenge25   I hope you accept the challenge and join in on the fun!         GEG MI Learn Captain   Follow my Tweets: @MrBadiner <http://twitter.com/MrBadiner>   Tech Resources: BadinerBytes.com <http://badinerbytes.blogspot.com/>   About Me: bit.ly/JeremyBadiner

Nope...Sorry, no PD hours are offered. This is just a quick explore-type fun thing. I wish I could offer them! 

Sorry!
