Badges...That Little Extra Bit of Encouragement!

The idea of giving badges to Students when they complete a task or activity is really kind of a cool way to encourage them and praise their accomplishment!  I can get carried away sometimes creating things online...so much so, that when I look up, hours have passed...not a good sign...  Here are just a few that I created in a Design Program, Canva (https://www.canva.com/).  Creating an account was simple and designing cards, posters, badges and more a snap as well.  Once  I completed a few, I downloaded them with ease and in the Preview screen, adjusted the image to be in a .png format.  Badges can be for anything from accessing an account to completing an Hour of Code.  They can also be for participating in a Club to presenting their finished tech project in the Lab.  The ideas seem endless at this point.  Only thing holding me back will be daylight hours!  This is a good idea!
