Peter:

 

Internet explorer and, if I read an earlier posting correctly, it's a browser prone to giving grief. I'm going to try again from home and see if I have any more luck. Otherwise, you'll have to create a badge for dummies.

 

Cheers, Chris

Task 4:

7. Identify a variety of sites that issue badges:

I checked Mozilla open badges and Khan Academy and ran into roadblocks both times. Clearly, what's logical and intuitive to others is not to me. If i weren't so determined to succeed and earn some darn badges, I'd throw up my hands, mutter some rude words, and write the exercise off. But . . . I know I'll return and try to figure out where I'm going wrong. It does, though, raise some questions: as in, where am I going wrong and why.

8. Describe the skills, knowledge and curriculum the badges represent.

the mozilla badge was a curriculum related badge. three questions. I have no value for the badge as a result - i just have a value for the experience becasue it was my first badge. The khan academy badge was a time telling (analog clock) exercise. I'm not sure whether or not I was successful (no obvious, "Ta Dah, you have a badge") and no idea where the badge is housed.

ummmmmm, it surely can't be this difficult.

Cheers, Chris
