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.

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?

Page 14: Showcase Learning with Digital Badges

Measure “new” skills; Differentiate instruction; Communicate expectations; Provide essential formative

feedback; Increase learners’ metacognitive

skills and self-efficacy; Share ideas!

evidence-based; acknowledge and communicate

skills; flexible; granular; “common assessments.”

Digital badges “of” learning

Page 17: Showcase Learning with Digital Badges

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

Page 18: Showcase Learning with Digital Badges

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)

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”

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)

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. InfoMaker Badge
