Badges? What are badges? I always thought badges were small circular discs that you pinned (carefully) to your shirt or jacket. But we now have digital badges as well.
Educause has just released their latest update which discusses Digital badges - Seven things you should know about badges. This is the link to the PDF file for download.
here is the link to the library of resources from Educause in this series.
My students and I are investigating Digital media as part of the ITGS course, specifically we are examining the issues, impacts and changes that exist in IT and the home. What effect and impact does IT have on the arts, leisure, entertainment and the home.
My students are in their mid teens and for many of them they have seen very few different music medias – so I went looking for an infographic that showed the different media over time I found a very good one thats worth sharing.
