  1. Showcase Learning with Digital Badges Angela Elkordy Doctoral Candidate Eastern Michigan University College of Education Leadership and Counseling Dept. aelkordy@emich.edu

  2. Digital badges mini survey: http://goo.gl/5RhkfRFollow along: http://goo.gl/JAeOzd

  3. TITLE OF WORKSHOP: Getting Started with Digital Badges • DESCRIPTION OF WORKSHOP: Merit badges have gone digital! Digital badges contain information • about who issued a learning challenge, who earned the badge, and the evidence of learning that was • required to earn it. Badges help bridge the gap between formal and informal learning. Participants in this • workshop will learn how to make digital badges and how to use them in instruction and assessment. MACUL Pre- Con

  4. Collaborate -- backchannel:https://todaysmeet.com/DigitalBadges

  5. Teacher JOY! Objective

  6. What are “digital badges”? • Why digital badges for learning and assessment? • View examples of badging systems • Understand how digital badges can add value and transparency in learning environments • Digital badges study: Opportunity! • Where to find additional resources Overview

  7. Why? • What? • When? • How? In brief….

  8. What are digital badges?

  9. Digital age learners….Socio-cultural context …

  10. DML Competition: Digital Badge Development

  11. Where do digital badges “live”? What’s an OBI?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQxEszFeKmk

  12. Source: Building Badges for Informal Learning Environments: http://fastapps.hri.uci.edu/files/2423/files/BADGE-workshopsheets.pdf Track student learning over time

  13. Learning targets (knowledge); • Behavioral targets; • Socio-emotional targets; • Soft skill targets; • Skill based targets (competencies); • Proficiency (or Mastery) targets; • Motivation targets; How can I use digital badges?

  14. Measure “new” skills; • Differentiate instruction; • Communicate expectations; • Provide essential formative feedback; • Increase learners’ metacognitive skills and self-efficacy; • Share ideas! How can I use digital badges?

  15. Who’s Badging?Clinton Global Initiative

  16. evidence-based; • acknowledge and communicate skills; • flexible; • granular; • “common assessments.” Digital badges“of” learning

  17. Robust digital badge assessments : • are transparent; • scaffold learning; • motivate learners; • provide critical formative feedback; • communicate expectations widely; • reinforce and strengthen important metacognitive skills • can be used to recognize, assess and communicate a wide variety of skills; • differentiate. Digital badges“for” learning

  18. Achievement (specific criteria) • Affiliation (belonging) • Behavioral • Demonstration of specific skills (products) • Incremental (toward a goal) • Participation (events, classes, meetings) • Social capital (mentoring, collaborating, team building) Kinds of badges

  29. Understanding by Design • What are the learning targets? • What kind of products will evidence learning? • What kinds of activities and experiences will support mastery learning? • Bonus: instantly reflective! How can I *teach* these concepts to ensure learning? • Digital badge assessments can align well with the idea of critically looking at learning and mastery of concepts can be evidenced • Digital badges can guide or scaffold learning, leading to greater understanding • Through performance activities, learning is made “visible” Design for Understanding

  30. Sample badge design

  31. Design Tools

  32. Badges Examples & Ideas

  33. Opportunity to participate in award winning research … Grades 6-12

  34. Digital Badges • Badge Design: • Learning trajectory with increasing cognitive difficulty • Standards alignment • Performance assessment / suggested activities to demonstrate content mastery • Resources and ideas

  35. This digital badge trajectory scaffolds learning in basic data and statistical concepts for middle and high school age learners. It is designed to be used in a variety of content areas in addition to science and math. • 4 levels plus one challenge level • Aligned with Next Generation Science Standard, Practice: “Analyzing and Interpreting Data” • Aligned with CCSS Math (Data and Statistics, for grades 6-10) • Also, alignment with NETS-S and P21 • Includes: Learning Targets, Badge Requirements, Performance Tasks, Evidence of Learning • Suitable for grades 6 and up (meets 6-8 standards) Data Whiz Badge Track

  36. This digital badge trajectory scaffolds intermediate and advanced learning in data and statistical concepts for middle and high school age learners. It is designed to be used in a variety of content areas in addition to science and math. • 4 levels plus one challenge level ; • Aligned with Next Generation Science Standard, Practice: “Analyzing and Interpreting Data” • Aligned with CCSS Math (Data and Statistics, for grades 8-10) • Also, alignment with NETS-S and P21 • Includes: Learning Targets, Badge Requirements, Performance Tasks, Evidence of Learning • Suitable for grades 8-12 and up (meets 9-12 standards) Data Hacker Badge Track

  37. The focus of this badge series is: “learner as innovative problem solver.”“Design” is viewed as a cyclical process, during which the learner is immersed in “design thinking:” • defines a problem or a challenge; • seeks information to inform a design solution (previous research and needs analysis); • proposes a potential solution; • communicates outcomes, including reflections/ recommendations on how to improve or refine the design for another iteration of design cycle.
