Badges
This course uses a digital badging system that is intended to make your experience more engaging, self-directed, and interest-driven by allowing you to customize your learning within the parameters of the required course objectives. After we complete the Teacher as Writer badge together as a class, you may choose up to 2 other badges, depending on the grade you wish to earn for the course. The degree of innovation, thoughtfulness, and thoroughness in your evidence will determine whether or not any "plusses" or "minuses" are added to the letter grade for each particular badge.
