Award Your Students for Their Accomplishments

Class Badges is an online program which allows you award students custom made badges. Students create an account and teachers can award badges to student accounts when earned. Every kid enjoys being recognized for good work, don't they? At the moment you have to request an invite (I did it this afternoon and am waiting to hear from them...) Here's a sample of a badge I saw on their page which I would like to use with my library-media council members:

Feeling Lovely Today

Thank you to Jo from The Book Bug blog for nominating me for a One Lovely Blog Award! I am truly honored to be recognized as lovely! By the way, Jo, your blog is lovely too! I would be interested in knowing who designed your header.

Here's how the One Lovely Blog Award works:
1)  Link back to the blogger who gave it to you.
2)  Follow the person who sent it to you.
3)  Pass the award onto 15 other bloggers.

There are so many great blogs out there, so this was very hard to do. But here are my 15 blogs:

AASL Blog
The Adventures of Library Girl
Cat's Pyjamas
Edgalaxy
Educational Technology Guy
iLearn Technology
Neverending Search
A Principal's Reflections
Random Thoughts: Change, Primary Sources & Other Stuff
Teacher Reboot Camp
Teachers as Technology Trailblazers
Tech the Plunge
The Unquiet Library
US History Teachers Blog
Van Meter Library Voice
