DESCRIPTION
Digital badges are an awesome way to recognize merit, strengths, behaviors and skill achievement in students and adults. For many years people have received recognition for their efforts and achievements. Sometimes they are given a certificate, medal, diploma or letter. However, it has always been hard to share this recognition to a wider audience. It was also hard to give these awards in a way that is easily shared and can scale to much larger groups. Thanks to digital badges, those issues are beginning to disappear. This workshop discusses the possibilities, thanks to the introduction of digital badges, that are now available to the world.

!The humble badge in some form, has been worn for hundreds of years and has been used as a tool to signify political allegiance or contempt, social injustice, support or disdain for the monarchy and more recently as a symbol of global
protest over issues such as war, peace, race-relations and regime change. !
As far back as early mediaeval times, people have shown a fascination for badges. Wearing badges also expressed a sense of belonging, and during the 19th century they were used by trade-unionists and politicians to declare their membership or
support of a particular group. !
The earliest badges we know of are from the 12th century when badges were made with the engraved faces of St Peter and St Paul. Pilgrims would wear them as a sign of their devotion and to prove their faith and these badges would have been the popular promotional gift of the time. Pilgrimages became even more
popular in the 14th century and many gatherings used to take place at the famous Tabard Inn in Southwark, London for pilgrims on their way to the annual pilgrimage in Canterbury Cathedral. Badges have been found by the banks of the Thames near Tabard Inn where it is possible that the pilgrims might have thrown
their badges into the river as a ritual or out of superstition, like throwing a coin in the Trevi Fountain today to make a wish.
In 1807 William Wilberforce purchased 50,000 medallions to promote the Anti Slavery cause that he was passionate about. In what was probably one of the
first promotional badges made for a political cause, it was the campaign which led to the Slavery Abolition Act of 1833 which abolished slavery in most of the
British Empire.

Student Accepts Badge and Places in Mozilla Backpack
MichaelBoll.me | @autismpodcast
■ In June 2013, the Clinton Global Initiative announced a commitment to help 1 million students and 1 million U.S. workers access opportunities through badges. Non-profit organizations, universities, civic organizations, technology providers, employers, and others are teaming up to meet this challenge. ■Blackboard’s recent integration with the Mozilla Open
Badges framework enables educators around the world to become badge issuers to millions of students who can use their badge achievements portably in their online identities and resumes. ■Mozilla, Blackboard, WCET and Sage Road Solutions are
bringing together academic, governmental, civic, and corporate thought leaders to contribute to a MOOC, “Badges: New Currency for Professional Credentials,” that will foster and strengthen emerging badge ecosystems.
