Digital Badges


This article was about the use of digital badges. It is sponsored by Mozilla. The badges can range from tests taken to skills that you have. Many employers could look up job applicants online. It is like a college transcript on steroids. It still offers grades, but if offers so much more.
I could use this in the classroom for parents and administration. The parents could look up how their child is doing in class and track the grades or achievements. This would be a good way of keeping the parents in the loop.
I could also use this for my administration to check on my students and my teaching. The principal could keep track of what I am teaching and how my students are doing. This could also be used by higher grade teachers. If I have a student in fourth grade, I could look to see the badges that were earned in third grade to see what level I should be working on.
