B is for Badges

B is for badges.  I just found out about how to create Flicker badges.  What a great way to capture interest on a web site.  The rapidly changing visual kaleidoscope of pictures makes you stop and think - what is the topic?  It reminds me a little bit of Guess the Google which I've used to teach keyword search terms.  However, you have to be careful - some of the score postings would be inappropriate for children.  I wonder how else this can be used in education?

So beware - it can be addictive.
