Overview
Welcome to Digital Badges! 

Create Digital Badges using images stored in your Google Drive that can be assigned to students. You can manage which students have been awarded Digital Badges and the Add-On will copy the relevant images to the correct student Google Drive folder.

You must first create your own set of Digital Badges which you would like to award to students and upload these to your Google Drive. Once you have done this you can setup your Google Sheet to award your Badges to the selected student. 

Digital Badges will automatically create and share a Google Drive folder with the students that will be owned by you. These folders are where copies of the electronic Digital Badges will be placed for the relevant student. 

Students can then access their personal Digital Badges folder to see which badges have been awarded through Google Drive or their folder could be embedded into their own Google Sites/Digital Portfolio for easy viewing. 
(Top Tip - if using Google Sites then set the viewing mode to ‘Grid’ as this will display the images better)

**Updates**
You now have the option to notify students that they have been awarded a digital badge via email when you assign the badges to them!
You can now assign a points value to each badge and have an automatic leader board created. 

**Paid Features**

Magic Digital Badges has now become a subscription service for all of the features available. The free version (Basic) still exists and should solve many users' needs however the Basic version is limited by the number of students. 

Please note that using the basic free version of Magic Digital Badges limits the user to a maximum of 20 students and 5 badges.

* Domain subscriptions cannot be for ‘gmail.com’ accounts but where you have a paid Google Domain and you would like all users to have Full accounts.

Love this! We have started giving our students digital badges that they are collecting on a Bingo Blackout game board. I am slow with technology, but this is so user-friendly and the level of support is awesome. It can be a nerve-wracking thing to roll out new technology schoolwide, but Magic Digital Badges made it a breeze. I could not find any other product that compares to this.

Fantastic! This app does exactly what I need it to do and the app creator is very quick when I have something that needs to be resolved - and so far we have been able to resolve any glitch that's come up very quickly.

Only 5 badges/20 users on free (this should be up front in the extension description). Probably would have still tried it, was thinking about subscribing...and it doesn't work. Gives me "Exception: We're sorry, a server error occurred. Please wait a bit and try again." when I tried to issue the first badge to a pupil. Will be finding an alternate service for badge issuing.

Watch out! someone added this to my account somehow and is gaining access to all my google files through it. It's a great app for hackers to get your personal info.

It doesn't work. Generate files only generates the main file and the first student file. Rename files only creates a new file for the first student Reset does absolutely nothing.

I just started using Magic Digital Badges with my students as a way to increase engagement during Covid remote and hybrid learning. The interface is so easy and I love the way that digital badges are emailed to multiple students at the click of a button.

Great Add-On. The simplest workflow I have found so far for awarding digital badges using GSuite.
