What are Digital Badges? A way to reward users or learners for skills or accomplishments, creating an element of gamification in learning. A way to motivate learners, recognize achievement, and indicate earned credentials.

The Canvas Community! Where Have I Seen Badges Before?

 Motivate Learners in a Digital Environment  Focus on Competency Rather than Seat Time  Model Marzano Best Practices of Rigorous Scales and Identifying Critical Content  Create Meaningful Reflection to Award Points for PD  Because It’s FUN! Why Badges at eSchool?

What Technology We Used  Canvas LMS  Canvabadges  Ordered special computer stickers from:

Motivate Learners  Different types of motivation:  Self-Motivated to Earn Digital Badge  Proud to Display Sticker Badges on Laptop  Competitive Motivation on Leaderboard  Practical Motivation to Earn Points for PD  Public Celebration of Success (#NinjasHaveSkills)

Focus on Competency  Each badge is accompanied by a learning module  To earn the badge at each level a reflection or demonstration of practice is required  Badges can be copied to a Mozilla Backpack

Model Marzano Best Practices  Each level on the learning scale represents one badge  Badge requirements reiterate the critical learning content for each level

Meaningful Reflection  Each module includes reflection and practice components for point eligibility  We used for Professional Learning  Could be applied to student learning as well
