I have previously disparaged badges, but here is what I think they might do for learning:
1. The Learning can live forever (and more people can take part in it even after the experience initially happened).
2. Multiple people evaluating the reflections creates a shared learning environment.
3. Every outcome can be different. And, that is a good thing.
How are you using badges in your learning or the learning of your students?
DenverPublicSchools, Nice work on upgrading to Google+. Can’t wait to share your videos throughout this learning network.

I shared this in our meeting, but this was a way in which I’m asking for folks to reflect upon what they have learned:
If you would like to receive an Open Badge for your participation in this session, please go ahead and submit a reflection blog post, document, or video to this P2PU badge site for review: http://badges.p2pu.org/en/badge/view/281/. We are intentionally keeping this open ended. However you choose to reflect upon what you have learned or how you will apply that learning is up to you. However, if you are stuck, here are a few guiding questions to answer in your reflection:
How did/will this roundtable change your practice?
What new connections or collaborations are now possible because of this roundtable?
How did this roundtable make you think differently about the way you approach teaching and/or learning?
What will you do with the knowledge, understanding, and connections you have made as a result of this roundtable?

I’m trying to find other schools and districts who are really engaged in using Google Apps as a true LMS. I know a lot of folks are experimenting and using Google Apps broadly for learning, but I would love to connect a few schools/districts together in a hangout to discuss the systems to support this in more than a single classroom or team of teachers.
Who is doing this work at the district (or schoolwide) level??
Please fill out the Google Doc to set up if you would like to be on the video hangout or if you would like to simply be a viewer.
Google Apps as an LMS Hangout on Air, starting in 3 minutes: https://plus.google.com/u/0/events/cm9f6atcrghu977059rbop30l9s
I think this “community message” is a great example of how you encourage the right kinds of posts and interactions. What do you think of how she frames “new members” and norms?

Welcome to all of the new members of this community who have joined us over the past month! We’re so excited to see this community grow and flourish. A few words about postings and sharings here…
Many times, a post that has been shared to multiple communities advertising an event or product gets flagged as spam. I typically don’t allow those types of messages to post in this community.
You are encouraged to include a narrative/message to accompany your link if you’re sharing a great learning opportunity, conference, your experience with a product, etc. for the community members here.
If you choose to share a blog post you’ve written, that’s great, just know that if it’s shared to multiple communities with no message specific to our members, it may get flagged as spam. Post with intent. Are you looking for feedback on your post? Just want to share some great work you’ve been doing or something exciting going on in your school? Then say so!
Please also try to use the most appropriate category for your post.
I have been so impressed with the level of support you’ve provided one another. I love that so many people respond to queries and questions and that conversations are emerging in so many posts!
Thank you all for respecting and contributing to this learning community! Happy New Year!
