Book excerpt: This accessible guide shares how and why badges work and the secrets to designing great challenges that motivate students to build skills and take control of their learning. As an elementary technology teacher, author Brad Flickinger observed that his students had little motivation to use the devices surrounding them for anything other than gameplay and entertainment. His solution was to rethink his teaching, adding elements of gamification, challenge-based learning, design thinking and other approaches to learning. With this, the badge system was born. By incorporating badges, students are motivated by using the familiar challenges of gameplay as they earn visual indicators of progress and complete challenges. At the same time, they are mastering skills and progressing academically. Reward Learning with Badges shows how to implement a successful badging system in your classes. You’ll learn to think differently about motivation and achievement and prepare to embark on your own badging initiative. The book includes: • Step-by-step planning advice • Tips on implementation and technology • Support from examples and success stories With this book, you’ll learn everything you need to know to start badging, including how to introduce badging to students, faculty and parents; how to design physical and digital badges; how to relate badges to standards and curricular goals and more. Audience: K-8 classroom teachers
