MY REFLECTION ABOUT CREATING BADGES

Design digital badges to motivate students:

1. What tools help teachers design and award digital badges to students?

    In the course you have suggested the following tools:

• Canva, https://www.canva.com/features/badges/
• Open Badges designer, https://www.openbadges.me/designer.html, allows you to design a badge you can download as an image to upload to an issuing platform.
• Makebadges, http://www.makebadg.es/ 

 I have decided to use Makebadges, as it is easy to create the budges, eventhough I have tried the Canva tool too, that I think it has more options and gives you more freedom to be more creative, but of course, you need to invest more time on it.

2. What are the components of a digital badge?

       - Certify by a recognition

    - Shows proof of learning.

    - Shows other characteristics about citizenship related with standards.

    - Help to improve different skills.

3. Defining the criteria to earn a badge.

    Students will know what they have to accomplish to earn the budge and they will decide what to do in order to get it. Also if they classmates get it, it would be an extra motivation to try to earn it too.

4. Why providing evidence is essential for earning a badge.

     - Because everybody can have a chance to get it.

     - Because students will make an effort to earn it. 

     - Because everybody loves to see and to show a well done work, that can             inspire others and also improve self-steem.

     - Because the person who gives the badge provides a testimony of the                 student’s achievement.
