Virtual School Meanderings 
I heard Scott McLeod speak at the Wisconsin SLATE conference this past December and picked up on his talk about badges for credentialing. Since then I have researched it further and believe it will be a great way to motivate students. NYC Public Schools is currently piloting it.
We plan to use the concept in iForward Wisconsin’s Online Charter School for grades 6-12. Digital Badges are the Gateway to the Future. They are A Creative New Way to Encourage and Reward Learning.
