(Dayton, OH) We have made it to Round Two of the Digital Media and Learning competition, with our proposal to award portable badges to students who are properly prepared to serve in communities outside their schools and colleges. There are several other “civic” proposals in Round Two, including proposals by organizations with which we have worked closely: iCivics and TakingITGlobal, plus others we admire as well. As I’ve argued before, this “badging” idea has a lot of potential for civic education and engagement.
