Connects to Michael Fullan quote,”sustained change depends on what teachers do and think;it’s as simple and complex as that”. For any initiative, including microcredentialing to integrate into the mainstream of school culture, time for learning and integrating into practice will need to be factored in. Technology provides some flexibility for workin with time issue, but it is not the default for not allowing for the professional development time to learn, process, reflect and integrate.

I eagerly signed up to pilot a micro-credentials platform. Sadly, I had no dedicated time to complete it. I don’t think they will be successful unless the job carved out time during the school day to get it done.
