The first badge is the cup of wisdom! This particular badge represents all of the homework modules that we completed. I really enjoyed completing the modules because it allowed me to explore a lot of different and new concepts that I had never learned before.
One of the badges that was incorporated in the cup of wisdom that I particularly enjoyed was the gamification badge. Last year I took the course on gamification in the classroom and ever since I have been very interested in this concept! I loved this badge because I want to use gamification in my own classroom in the future. I want to incorporate game elements like badges and leaderboards to really get my students engaged and interested in my lessons. Gamification is a great way to motivate students and add an interesting aspect that students relate to.
The next major badge within the course was the order of TPACK. This badge represents all of the things that we did within class together. Within the class I learned a lot of new things about technology and how it can be used in the classroom.
A badge that went along with the TPACK badge that I particularly enjoyed in class was the collaborator badge. This badge represents all the collaboration that we did in class. I really enjoy the collaboration and being able to talk to each other and watch each others videos. By being able to collaborate with one another I feel like I gained a lot more insight into the different technologies and different perspectives from my peers on how to use the technology!
The last badge that I want to talk about is the Genius Hour badge. This badge represents the completion of the Genius Hour research that we did in class. For my Genius Hour I researched animals in captivity and how to better support them physically and emotionally. I really enjoyed being able to do my own Genius Hour because I want to be able to do it with my class in the future. I feel as though I have a better understanding of Genius Hour and how great they can be because I was given the opportunity to do one myself.
