Jennifer is inspired everyday by teachers and students who are catalysts for making the world a better place! Connect with Jennifer on Twitter at @JenWilliamsEdu.

Badging for Social Good: Recognition of Agency, Action, and Impact

How might badges and credentials be used to recognize the efforts of global educators and students taking action for climate change? This question guided a year-long design challenge for the team at Take Action Global, an education non-profit organization working to empower classrooms to protect our planet. Join to learn about our journey from asking “should we” to “how can we” and how we discovered the power digital badges can have for a global community of educators who are motivated to make an impact for good.

Learn + Share + Reflect.

Now in its sixth year, the Badge Summit is established as the leading gathering to learn about digital badge credentials and connect with others who are changing the world. The 2020 Badge Summit brings together thinkers and doers from K-12, Higher Ed, Industry and Cultural institutions for an exciting and impactful day.
