The SAISD Tech Badge Program has been a HUGE success! During the 2016-2017 school year, we gave out 950 professional and 62 integration badges. This year we have given out 925 professional and 100 integration badges. Our inspiring teachers and administrators have shown us very creative and innovative ways they are using technology on campuses.

After reviewing our current Tech Badge model, we have decided to close our current program on April 27th to begin work on Tech Badge 2.o. We are excited to bring something new and improved to SAISD for the 2018-2019 school year!
