Ozge Karaoglu (@ozge) 7/19/14 6:34 AM Why The Future Of Education Involves Badges bit.ly/1pnAGyD via@Edudemic  Badge-based channels must solve issues of identity, verification, validation and ongoing management to enable a secure and trusted ecosystem to emerge around credentials. yeah.. what if all of that.. is not what we want.. in our souls..  ie: what if identity/verification/validation/management/security/... not fitting with our deepest ..richest... most sustainable... thrivable. .. energy...?

Open Badges (@OpenBadges) 7/19/14 7:00 AM Digital Badges as Curricular Building Blocks wp.me/p2WRHF-1b3 #openbadges #edtech#competencyworks #microcredentials (via @bdean1000) Now consider a different way of thinking about a master’s degree. What if you started by listing out the program goals? From there, you created a longer list of discrete competencies that one would need in order to demonstrate achievement of these goals. For example, perhaps one program goal related to using different models and frameworks to design high-impact learning experiences. To break this down, you might decide that achieving this goal requires knowledge and skill in designing project-based learning, service learning, inquiry-based learning, game-based learning, discussion-based learning, etc. Each of these could be listed as discrete competencies, all leading to the achievement of the overall program goal. What if these competencies then became the building blocks of the curriculum design instead of the course? You might have a list of 50-80 such competencies, each aligned to one or more of these program goals. This is where we add the concept of digital badges. Each badge is earned by demonstrating a discrete program competency. which we ve done in curricular design.. at least the last 20 years. read again.. see/hear all the time we are wasting toward control... 50-80.. that change next week... no..? now mult that by 1 yr 20 yrs.. dang us. This is where we get into unfamiliar ground, so allow me to explain what curricular elements would go into each competency-based badge design. The foundation of each badge is one of the program-level competencies. Then we must determine what criteria one will need to meet to demonstrate competency and earn the associated digital badge unfamiliar..? This changes the way we go about curriculum revision, redesign, and customizations what if we don't need ...want... any of that...? (via outside control.. et al) What happens if a new skill or area of knowledge emerges for a given field? It does not require a new course, but only the development of new competency-based digital badges.  top down extra ..work... keeping us from us @KevinCarson1  @Jake_Witmer @CKinstitute System isn't broken; a manufactured crisis to create opportunity to make money off of kids' educ.
