Everyone likes to get an award. And achievements are just awards that you can work towards getting. I'm sure you are aware of achievements in your favorite video games. We are going to set up levels of achievement here that we can all strive to accomplish, and I want you to be deeply involved in developing what kinds of awards you can earn. 

Not just what achievements you can earn, but also what the awards will look like. We can't pass out a golden cup trophy to everyone who gets something done, but we can give you a badge. Think of Boy Scouts, or Girl Scouts; you earn merit badges for meeting some guidelines in camping, or cooking, or showing your skills in first aid for example.

Let's figure out what achievements we would like to be able to earn, and then work to design what those badges will look like.

Here are a few tools to organize our ideas about what achievements we should make available to earn:
  • Text 2 Mind Map - Web based mind mapping
  • Coggle - Web based mind mapping
Here's a MindMap that is already started. How can we make it better?

Here are some tools to create the image of your badge:
  • iPiccy
  • Badge Designer at OpenBadges.me
  • Official Badge Generator at Says-It.com/badge
  • Badge Creator at ImageFu.com for Text Only badges
  • 3D-Badge Maker at OnlineBadgeMaker.com

Computers are really useful because we con connect other devices, machines and gadget and personalize our computer to suit our own needs. How does that stuff fit together? There is some standardization in connections (in computer speak we call them ports).

Here are a couple of simple ways to practice connecting (in your mind) how things are connected to your computer!
  •  Image Click Quiz (Created at ImageQuiz)
  • Image Click Quiz II (Created at ImageQuiz)
  • Drag & Drop matching Quiz (Made with "Make It" app)
