readabout.me is an online publisher of the stories you create on readMedia's platform. Every story you send out automatically creates a personalized achievement for your students at readabout.me (see example here). Students will receive a personalized email that directs them to their achievement on readabout.me. This email comes from your school, not readMedia!
All achievements on readabout.me are awarded a "badge of approval
" to show that they've
been verified by your school. You'll see a sample of some standard readMedia badges below, but you can upgrade your account to personalize these badges (learn more). On readabout.me, students can claim their achievement by
connecting to Facebook, which
allows them to
add a photo and share their badge with their social networks. Don't worry, we never pull information from Facebook! The student’s achievements are then rolled up into a professional, powerful online profile that shows the great things their involved in on campus. Students can even enhance their profiles by adding other activities and affiliations (see example here). Students will earn new badges every time you acknowledge their accomplishments, and over time these badges will provide a snapshot of their college career. It happens automatically! Best of all, the online portion happens automatically when you merge your spreadsheet and template in readMedia's platform. There is no additional work for you! Just remember to include emails in your spreadsheets so your students are notified that you're acknowledging their achievement. |
