Applying Recognition Badges
As teachers, we all know that students do not always receive good grades on assignments and at times students start getting frustrated. A way to start rewarding students and give them a little motivation in the class is to assign badges of recognition. Here are the steps to awarding badges:
- Click on the students profile. In the top right hand corner of their home profile page, click on the button that says “Award Badge.”
- A window will pop up that allows you to award different badges. Hover over the Badges to see the name of each Badge
- Click on the badge you would like to award and press “Award Badge.”
- You also have the opportunity to create a badge to award students. To create a new badge follow the steps:
- Click the “Progress” icon on the top toolbar and click on my student badges.
- An empty box will appear under “My Student Badges”. Click on the box to add a new badge.

- A new box will appear where you will need to enter the badge title, a description of the badge and upload an image for the badge. Once done press “create badge” and your new badge will
appear. - When you go to another student's profile to award a badge, the new badge you created will now
appear under “My Student Badges.”
