With the upcoming release of Mozilla's Open Badges framework this group is an opportunity for educators and interested parties to discuss the various ways such badges could be used in educational contexts.
Great post Kevin; you've clearly been giving this some thought.
Can I ask whether you would see the badges your pupils would earn (and award!) coming from a system internal to your school, or extended beyond it ... or does your presence in this forum already answer that question?
At first I would imagine the award system would have to come from inside my school as I don't think any other Primary school is doing this. I would love to see the scope of Open Badges in its current format extending to include younger learners. Small steps but big ideas :-)
It's a good blog post, worth a read.
Thanks John and for your comments on the post too.
