@mommasducklings me too! #5thchat

In reply to @mommasducklings

A1 - Digital badges are like merit badges from scouts - you earn them and they show achievement. Can increase motivation & effort. #5thchat

PaulSolarz - Moderator Dec 13 @ 8:11 PM EST

A1 - I tried using badges when they first became popular but had trouble keeping up with them - looking for some ideas tonight! #5thchat

technojohnson Dec 13 @ 8:12 PM EST

#5thchat Q2:

technojohnson Dec 13 @ 8:12 PM EST

A1: yes @PaulSolarz not just a check box done, but a skill demonstrated, can earn a badge. #5thchat

In reply to @PaulSolarz

PaulSolarz - Moderator Dec 13 @ 8:13 PM EST

A2 - I can see them working well in a standards-based environment (which we are moving to next year). Increases motivation/effort. #5thchat

technojohnson Dec 13 @ 8:13 PM EST

Q2: What are some pros/cons you have heard or encountered using or learning about badges? #5thchat

LemarrTreadwell Dec 13 @ 8:13 PM EST

@PaulSolarz #5thchat Yes. I have found Ss intrinsic motivation to achieve increased with the use of badges.

A2. A big pro is student motivation. I have used digital badges with students in different programs....and they do motivate. #5thchat

specialtechie Dec 13 @ 8:14 PM EST

A2: Pros-fun competition, makes activities more appealing. Cons-digital makes it hard for some to access. Some T's are reluctant. #5thchat

technojohnson Dec 13 @ 8:14 PM EST

We went to this 2 years ago, last year went G-Classroom, this year on to badging! #5thchat

A2 - I can see them working well in a standards-based environment (which we are moving to next year). Increases motivation/effort. #5thchat

mommasducklings Dec 13 @ 8:15 PM EST

A2: Possible Con: I can see several of my students only focusing on getting badges & not focusing on the task @ hand. #5thchat

AnneKamper Dec 13 @ 8:15 PM EST

A2: ways to maintain and a good system to use that is my con right now. How to motivate I just have more questions #5thchat

LemarrTreadwell Dec 13 @ 8:15 PM EST

A2. The biggest struggle is finding the relevant connection between the badges and the Ss work #5thchat

mommasducklings Dec 13 @ 8:15 PM EST

A2: Pro: Student choice! Students can work on which badge interests them most. #5thchat

technojohnson Dec 13 @ 8:15 PM EST

And coming up with an #evaluation system that accurately reflects the learning #5thchat

LemarrTreadwell Dec 13 @ 8:15 PM EST

A2. The biggest struggle is finding the relevant connection between the badges and the Ss work #5thchat

But they usually learn something in the process, so it's not a complete loss. #5thchat

iowajonhuebner Dec 13 @ 8:22 PM EST

Yes, @technojohnson, @YandellsPlace I have used them as a skill based badge...demonstrate the skill...get the badge. #5thchat
