Badges can be used to motivate students and provide a friendly form of assessment by recognizing their achievements and skill levels. Teachers can create badges through free online tools like Edmodo, ClassBadges, and Mozilla OpenBadges to align with academic goals and award students for various levels of mastery or accomplishments. Badges come in different formats from digital to physical stickers and pins to make achievements more tangible for students.
