And when we feel good we increase the likelihood of repeated growth. I hope to see more digital badges become OPEN digital badges with the metadata baked into them. That way, they feel good AND create more transparency for career skills! #EduSkyChat

Oh i can't wait to hear how this goes! I helped an 8th grade teacher build a system JUST like this back in 2015 and I still believe in it now. Go, Lindsay, go!! #EduSkyChat

Totally. Ang I believe that the sooner we create moments for educators to EARN, the sooner they'll create moments for their learners to EARN! #EduSkyChat

Right? I actually made mini-buttons for an in-person event to scknowledge their compmetencies in real time. It was super cool to see professionals pinning their recognition to their lanyards with big smiles on their faces! #EduSkyChat

I totally agree! And involving the students in the system creation can be even more of a hook. #EduSkyChat

I've earned and issued open badges in Badgelist, Badgr (now owned by Instructure), and Credly to name a few. It made good sense to choose an issuer that integrated with Canvas since our PL happened in there #EduSkyChat What about you ?
