#BadgeChatK12 was founded in December, 2014 by a group of educators who are passionate about credentialing learning and achieving. While there are thousands of us around the globe issuing badges to learners, there was not yet a regular twitter chat for those of us in the K-12 space to gather for learning and sharing about badging. After reaching out to leaders in the field (like the good folks at Mozilla and The Badge Alliance) for their thoughts, #BadgeChatK12 was born.
General understanding of Digital Badge Credentials has grown enormously from days of every convo being "Badges 101" to now having more meaningful and high level dialogue about how we do it, do it right and sustain it - @ottonomy + @CateTolnaihttps://t.co/iNMVqJBW7s#BadgeChatK12
I've found #BadgeChatK12 to be a really good transitional bridge for me...hearing others' articulation has helped me better package my own communications in my community - @donpresant
Visible evidences of learning with Digital Badge Credentials can lead to powerful celebrations of accomplishments, unearthing learning that is traditionally buried but deeply personal and meaningful - @CateTolnai#BadgeChatK12
Gamification isn't "add Badges and people will be motivated." It's an intentional, multi-level design process that requires intense focus and design - @ottonomy#BadgeChatK12
Big news! #BadgeChatK12 is going to rebrand as #badgechat in order to recognize the inclusion of all forms of learning and recognition in the #openbadges community. Don't worry @CateTolnai, we won't forget our #K12 roots!
