Badges
Mozilla is designing a constellation of badges that recognize webmaking and web literacy skills. These include stealth (automatic) mini badges issued through Thimble & Popcorn, that accumulate to cumulative skill badges, i.e HTML Basics or CSS Basics. Additionally we are exploring peer badges that can be issued directly from one peer to another. This work will launch at the Mozilla Festival where we will also investigate ideas around badges for the Hacktivities found in this kit as well as new Hacktivites we create.
Skill Badges
Skill badges show what learner can do or what they know - (I can ____, I know ____). There are two types of skill badges:
1. mini (I can hyperlink)
2. cumulative (I know HTML Basics)
Achievement Badges
Achievement Badges show what a learner made - (I made a _____). There are two types of achievement badges:
1. mini (I made a webpage)
2. 2. cumulative (I am a webmaker)
Participation Badges
Participation badges show that a learner participated or contributed in or to a learning event - (I attended a Hackasaurus Hackjam).
