Open badges

An Open Badge is a way of celebrating my learning ,skills and reflection as no one institute can give me all the knowledge and understanding in certain areas of my career. This helps me update and keep a track of my lifelong learning, in a variety of different ways. E.g. an online course, a mentoring session ,watching a video ECT.
The way I reflect on my learning through experiance, knowledge,the skills I learn and my thoughts on my subject, and the way I apply my knowledge and understanding. An open badge is a digital way of recognising and recording my achievements that i can share with others through social media or a blog. They are linked to my evidence provided to earn the badge for both formal and informal learning.

Why digital

Digital technology is widely becoming more and more a part of everyone's life. This affects both our personal and working lives. More and more people access social media to keep in touch with family and friends  And most homes will have at least 1 mobile device.

Digital security

The most important thing I learned from this section is how important it is to take steps in improving digital security.

Also to make sure passwords are not easy to crack., to use phrases rather than individual words, and to change passwords regularly. I found it very interesting to learn what information each app on my phone was using and how my location could be tracked. I also learned that each time my device updates security measures need to be reapplied. The most interesting part was the video on WiFi safety, I never imagined how much information could be attained through open WiFi access.
