About Bud Hunt is an instructional technologist for the St. Vrain Valley School District in northern Colorado. Formerly, he taught high school language arts and journalism at Olde Columbine High School in Longmont, Colorado. He is a teacher-consultant with the Colorado State University Writing Project, an affiliate of the National Writing Project, a group working to improve the teaching of writing in schools via regular and meaningful professional development. Bud is a former co-editor of the New Voices column of English Journal, a publication of the National Council of Teachers of English, and a co-founder of Learning 2.0: A Colorado Conversation.
Bud reads, writes, and worries about the future of reading and writing and teaching and learning at http://www.budtheteacher.com.
And, in case it wasn't clear to you, this blog is his own, and in no way represents the views of his various employers, contractors, and other good and fine folks.

PS - Bud uses Bluehost to host his online content. The graphic below is a link if you want some more information - Bud likes what they do and how they do it. The link is an affiliate link - so Bud helps cover his bills if you choose to click below and sign up.
Bud posts a blog in relation to the announcement and online conversation about the Open Badges project. He points us to the original content as well as the conversation via twitter (#dmlbadges) and some other blog posts on this subject. He then goes through some categories of definition of badges ending up with badges as curriculum design (which I am holding onto because I want to come back to this topic later too).
