+==Brackets + Badges==
+One of the long standing discussions within the Webmaker project is how best to integrate [http://openbadges.org/ Open Badges].  With badges it is possible to give users recognition for the completion of various learning activities.  As they progress through a curriculum or learning path, various badges can be made available, and get collected.  For example, learning how to use a particular aspect of CSS correctly.
+With a progressively enhanced learning environment like Nimble, where certain features and functions can be enabled or disabled depending on the ideas being taught, badges become another way to help tailor the environment to an individual's abilities and interest.  Imagine being able to use Nimble at your own level for an arbitrary Make, where the features of the tool are determined by previous achievement as measured by associated badges.  For example: if you've been successful in learning about JavaScript debugging, the debugger might be automatically enabled for you in other learning modules.  By relying on the users badges, whether earned via Webmaker or other similar learning systems, it becomes possible to create a tool that fits the experience and expectations of the learner.
