What I'm Using: The Badge Canvas from Digital Me

This single PDF (linked off of the page below) is an amazing template to jump start your thinking around badges. I will be using it in a team approach to help identify some of the most important elements of badges in DPS.

What I'm Learning: PRACTICAL TOOLS TO TRIGGER & SUPPORT SOCIAL INNOVATION, a DIY Toolkit

This DIY toolkit of innovation tools is pretty impressive, and I think could help almost anyone who is looking to create new knowledge or understanding of a given problem or those who are trying to actively solve complex issues. Go and have a look!

About – Development Impact and You

This is a toolkit on how to invent, adopt or adapt ideas that can deliver better results. It’s quick to use, simple to apply, and designed to help busy people working in development.

The tools are not coming out of thin air. It draws on a study of many hundreds of tools currently being used – here we have included only the ones which practitioners found most useful. Many of them are well documented and have been widely used in other sectors. In that sense this toolkit is standing on the shoulders of giants, and we are happy to acknowledge that. All the tool descriptions include a key reference, so it is easy to trace back their origins and dive deeper into other publications about their application.

This is awesome!

This is awesome! I can’t wait to see what you come up with in Explain Everything. I’m also intrigued by how you see Tumblr fitting into the mix. I think the community there is rich, but I have yet to see the best parts of Tumblr (re-blogging, hashtags, etc.) really take root in the education community.
