What the “badgees” think…

http:// I have a twitter account now! The information you provided under that badge was absolutely the best! Thank you, Megan, you will make my daughters proud of me for keeping up with the times. Look out pinterest, here I come!

I like badges because it is a practical and fun way to show what we've accomplished.

I like the idea of badges because I will have proof of how totally awesome I am! (and I guess my co-workers too)

I think the badges are a great way to track your progress when trying to learn new things.

Confused or excited?

Let’s chat about it more.
