All right, let's continue with the idea of a workshop to teach kids storytelling in journalism.
Let's say I choose the skills badge.
The skills they will need to acquire are as follows:
- look for sources
- gather info
- put together info
- write the story (or article).
Number of peers needed to review the badge: 3.
Rubric:
- how well did they do while gathering info?
- ability to sort and put together info for the story
- coherence and cohesion of their narrative.

The school community will award this community badge for the community service that the receiver has performed.

If the receiver coaches younger students, the receiver student would have to demonstrate proper knowledge of the game and ways to teach the skills to others.

If the receiver tutors younger students, the receiver would have to demonstrate his knowledge of the subject and acquire a recommendation from a member of the faculty in the particular area.

If the receiver receives the badge for taking the time to help a peer or a younger student who is in need, the receiver would have to be nominated by a student or teacher who witnessed the action.

The awarding of the badge would take place after a review of a committee of two peers, a counselor, and the director of the school’s Digital Badge program.

Select your badge type, and write a brief description of what project, skills or traits a learner would need to get the badge.

Badge: Video Game Design & Development - Curriculum

Type: Challenge Completion

Criteria for award: As this is a completion award, learners will have participated (actively) in one of my VGDD workshops. The purpose of the workshop is for the teacher-learners to begin to understand the breadth of video game design and to start the process of remixing the content to create their own VGDD class in their school. Focal areas would include grade level for delivery, thematic approach (music, art, programming, math, science, etc.), project based delivery (where other disciplines such as reading, writing, business, math, science, etc. are the driver as opposed to it being a pure technology class).

Thoughts for development: I can see this as an entry level award, perhaps I'll add a Level 1 to the badge to denote the first step along the path to VGDD master status. Having watched Doug Belshaw's video about badge design http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHo0PyRJpH8

I am beginning to think more geometrically about the process of attaining the VGDD badge - where learners gain specific skills in their own areas of focus (art, music, storytelling, programming, etc.) and which will facilitate a nonlinear route to attainment. I like his hexagonal design concept.

My overall badge will only be awarded once each of the component badges are gained. Each badge will require 3 peer reviews with comments.

The first component badge will be the copyright badge. This badge will be awarded after completing some tasks that clearly show good understanding of the basic copyright rules.

The second component badge will cover creative commons. This badge will be awarded after completing some tasks that show a reasonable understanding of the various CC licensing models.

The thisrd component badge will be the Open Educational Resources badge and will be awarded in the same way as the others, showing that the person has a good grasp of OER.

Once all three are awarded the overall badge will be awarded after just one peer review.

The "Thought Nutritionist" is a community badge which demonstrates a skill.

Comments would have a thumbs up, or chow up ;0) button. When the nominator clicks this button, one third of the thought nutritionist badge is completed on the nominees profile, motivating them to contribute more.

An explanation would be provided to the nominator asking if the nominee's post did any of the following;

Encouraged open dialogue

Built upon the posts of the previous participants

Shared useful knowledge leading to the furthering of a solution or discussion.

Select your badge type, and write a brief description of what project, skills or traits a learner would need to get the badge.

The HEI-ON Project goal is to develop an online tool, intended for the use of any Higher Education Institution(HEI) that wishes, which will simplify and facilitate the development and dispatch of ECTS Learning Agreements in an online environment. In these terms the person, who wants our Badge needs to have knowledge about studying abroad and making the learning agreement (LA).

If you're choosing a "Skill" badge, also create a rubric and number of peers needed to review the badge.

The number of peer, who need to review the Badge is 0. Rubric would be a question: "How well did the user shared knowledge about studying abroad?"

At the moment I have a number of ideas for using badges, none of them are fleshed out enough to put here yet, but they are all skill-based and will reflect this in the rubric I use when deciding whether the badges are awarded or not.

This section highlighted t me the need to adequately plan the badge and it's associated activity(s) as well as the award itself.

All the best, David
