The virtual badges were developed to help encourage and track student participation.
Badges are awarded by the "Trip Count".
There are three different trip counts (contest, school year and lifetime) These three options give you the ability to build a customized incentive program.
For example you might have a year long Walking Wednesday program but want to do a month long program in May. With the contest counts you can setup specific goals for May and still maintain a year long school incentive program. Badges can also be awarded on specific dates (bike to school day, or a rainy day). Awarding Monkey Money is another badge option. For example if you want to encourage at least four trips a month you can add a Monkey Money bonus of $1.00 when that badge is awarded.
Adding a badge enables it. The system automatically award the badge to any student who has received that trip count between your Program Start and End Dates.
Deleting a badge removes it from any student it was awarded to within your current Program Start and End Dates.
This is a Badge Report show the students that received a Badge in that date range.
The Badge Report is very useful if you are awarding real prizes like t-shirts, stickers or certificates.
