Thank you, Katie-Jordan! The challenge was a lot of fun. Congratulations to the winners! I just wanted to ask if there wasn’t there also a badge for LinkedIn or something similar? Will you be sending that to us? Wishing you all a great day!
Hi PaSchl, all Globetrotters should've received an email this morning with the LinkedIn image. Please let me know if you did not receive that. I'm so glad you enjoyed the challenge!
Hi Katie-Jordan 😃- got an email, but I don't recall a LinkedIn image 🤔
That's a great prize for the New Year! Thank you 😀
Thank you Katie-Jordan for making this challenge fun and cheering us on. What you do makes a difference!
Congrats to all the fellow badge earners and raffle winners! 🥳🙌🏾🎆
Katie-Jordan, one of my biggest takeaways from the #PassportChallenge was deciding that, although I used my org's Storyline subscription (which I've been hesitant about since the beginning) to build my "fake" demo - it is okay.
I have reframed contributing to ELH's weekly challenges and learning opportunities as more avenues of professional development. 😉
I LOVE that Thomas_Shayon! I hope to see you continue to participate in challenges and share your work, because you are exactly right - it's a great way to keep developing and even grow your personal portfolio!
Thank you Katie-Jordan . I really enjoyed finding out you could simply post samples of your work, outside of the challenges. I also enjoyed learning about new member bios that are joining all the time. What an outstanding community of passionate ID and eLearning professionals you foster!
That's great to hear AK6! I love that you learned about new areas of the community, and I hope you'll continue to pop in to those channels 🤩
Thanks Katie-Jordan for a really fun challenge! And congrats to the raffle winners, woohoo!! What I loved most about this challenge was how achievable it was, yet still with the right amount of challenge that it's not at all boring.
I wasn't going to take part, to be honest, since my previous experience with platform gamification has been so lackluster (either grossly unachievable or mostly irrelevant). But then I thought, "Oh, I should really introduce myself in the Welcome Center." Then I needed to reply to someone's post. And I might post in the help forum if someone encountered Rise weirdness and needed help. And pretty soon, I'd have half the badges 😅
The one thing I'd never done before was post to the ELH Weekly Challenge or share my work. I've always been too scared because, wow, there are some really, really talented people here. But I did it, and I didn't die or get poked fun at, and it felt great! So I'll probably do it again... Perhaps the Pantone submission will be my thing 😃JenLynnRusso We survived 😂 I was also nervous about posting my work and I didn't die. I've learned a lot from viewing other submissions. This was a great experience.
JenLynnRusso Lori_Morgan I love this feedback!! Thank you for sharing and stepping out of your comfort zone. This is a common concern I've heard from people, and by stepping up and sharing your experience, I hope others will feel empowered to participate as well. This is such a supportive community, no matter what level you are at, everyone is here to cheer you on and also learn from each other. I'm glad this was valuable for you both! 🤩
Congratulations Abigail
Thank you!! :)
Thanks so much!! This was such a fun community activity :)
