Week 2 Reflection

Week 2 of the EduGoalsMooc focused on creating Learning Missions and Digital Badges. I loved this task! I learned so much from this week's focus. I plan to continue using the Mission model for assignments to keep student engagement at the center of my class.
The Learning Mission Model really provides students the opportunity to take ownership of their learning, and provides a student centered approach to instruction, allowing the teacher to take the facilitator role. This in turn, will create multiple opportunities for students to be fully engaged in the curriculum content. 
My students love to earn digital badges for the completion of tasks. I believe badges give students something to work for, and provide

visual representations of what they have completed.
