Open Badges communicate skills and achievements by providing a visual representation of your accomplishments packed with verifiable data and evidence.
Open Badges enable you to take your learning with you, wherever you go, building a rich picture of your lifelong learning journey.
The Backpack lets you store the Open Badges you earn, and share them between platforms, anywhere on the web. It gives you complete control over your own achievements by allowing you to organize and display your badges in the places that matter to you.
It's simple to use, just and upload or push the badges you have earned in other platforms into it.
The Backpack is trusted worldwide, with over 1 million badges already stored.

DIGITAL LITERACY ASSESSMENTS
Today you will be working on Digital Literacy.
Start the program by viewing the following website:
Spend time in class working on each of the nine (9) Digital Literacy Assessments. After each test, if you pass, you can select to Collect a MOZILLA DIGITAL BADGE. Follow the instructions below to add the badges to your profile. Once you have completed as many badges as you can, send an email to Mr. Scribner (hscribner@ccs.us) with a picture of your BADGE PAGE (See Below).
You must complete a minimum of six (6) Digital Literacy Assessments to receive credit for this project. I will circulate to make sure the badges are on your log in page any time you request a check. You may continue to retake the assessments as many times as it takes to get a passing score.
After you have worked on the Digital Literacy Assessments, everyone is encouraged to create an account on MAKEWAVE.ES! Please see below for instructions:
