Welcome to the Acorn Project! 
You can use this "Smaoinigh Mor - Think Big!" Learning Playlist to earn digital badges throughout your learning journey in the class. Check out the different activities below to see what you can get badges for. These badges support your learning beside the topics and issues you discuss in the class. They are evidence for your attendance, your engagement, your group work and much more! 
The badges represent the skills you gain while being in class, engaging with others and working on your graduation. At the end, you can generate a certificate with all your badges and you can even add it to your CV!

As you grew up with all kinds of digital media, you can probably describe yourself as a digital native. Let’s check the proper definition of it though:
﻿
﻿
﻿
So what do you think - would you describe yourself as a digital native? If you are not sure, follow this link to make the test! 
What is the result of your test, are your surprised or did you expect that outcome? Does it make you think about your usage of technology? 
﻿
Even though you grew up with your phone and you are able to use it and its possibilities very well, that might not be the case for using a computer. While you are in class though, you work with the computer regularly and you probably learnt some new skills on that which can be very useful for a later job, too. Often the employer asked for skills in Word and other programmes. 
To earn the Digital Native badge, scroll down and explain which new skill you might have learned just besides sitting in class and being educated.
