A1: @MineolaUFSD badges are being used in place of report cards for Pre-k . #badgechatk12 #formativechat

Yes!!!! So challenging to resist urge to GO BIG. Starting small is so much more likely to lead to decisions that stay made #formativechat

This is a good point. I've never used badges. Would the badges be just for the student or for everyone to see? #formativechat #whitmanwtps

A2 Some challenges are if you have a lot of Ss finding a way to manage it all and initial set up/intro to Ss #formativechat #badging
