REPRESENTATIVE COMMENTS FROM SURVEY
•How did it make you feel to receive a badge?• I felt successful and was therefore more competitive in my assignments
because I wanted to earn more badges.•How did you feel to NOT receive a badge?• Bummed
•Did badges motivate you to try for a specific one?• I am going to do my best work whether I earn a badge or not, but it was nice motivation to
keep working just as hard throughout the semester.• I always tried to earn the creativity badge.• Yes. It is a conversation at the dinner table when I receive a badge/award.
•How many badges should be offered? • Most people said around 5, which is what I recommend.
•What actions or behaviors should be recognized?• Superior work, students who provide help to their fellow students, original ideas/work
•At what age would badges work? • Answers ranged from primary grades to adults.
•Are you considering starting to use badges. • Five people said yes• One person, a librarian, said she wanted to use with teachers.
• ACCESS SURVEY AT THIS ADDRESS: http://bit.ly/badging
HOW DO I
START??
Here is a link to my article in [email protected]/badging There’s a bibliography for more
information.
DO Keep Badges Digital
I used Credly to make and manage badges.https://credly.com/
DISCLAIMER…THIS DOES TAKE SOME TIME!
•This is especially true when setting up.•Using a site like Cred.ly does save time.•Creating a webpage just for badges is best alternative.•Once system in place, it’s easy to maintain.
•DO Keep grades out of your badging.•DO Give badges frequently but seek balance so as not to “cheapen” them•DO Use for things that are behaviors you want to foster•DO Have some badges that any student can attain.•DO Make it clear how to earn each badge.
HERE’S AN IDEA SUGGESTED BY A SURVEY PARTICIPANT…
HOW ABOUT USING WITH TEACHERS?
HERE ARE SOME THINGS I RECOMMEND
NOT TO DO…
•Don’t tie them to grades!•Don’t start with too many.•Don’t give them so often that the become meaningless.•Don’t take them beyond online posting or bolster them with material prizes.
