Why use digital stickers?
Digital stickers are a great way to add some familiarity and fun to your teaching. These virtual rewards were created to encourage and motivate students while they are engaging in some form of digital learning. I have used them in distance learning, with Google classroom, Seesaw and have been used to communicate feedback to online students as well as in the classroom. Parents have also given very positive feedback when they see a digital sticker placed on their child’s work.
I’m a huge fan of physical stickers and have designed for sticker companies professionally and there is nothing like a fresh sheet of stickers! However, the advantages of digital stickers are that you can use them over and over in your own personal classroom with your students and never worry about running out. They are 300 px by 300 px each so do not take up too much memory on your hard drive so convenient to store.
These png files have a transparent background so they look great when inserted onto your digital files. They mimic physical stickers as you can move them around the document.

As you collect different digital stickers it is a good idea to organise them into a digital file or on a digital sticker book on your ipad or tablet. I keep mine in digital folders.
SEE SAW For use in ‘See Saw’, after a student sends in their work. you have the option to edit it. Next you will click on the ‘camera’ icon and add the sticker of your choice from your computer drive or the camera roll on your tablet. Finally you approve it and you’re ready to go!
