</div>Sure! We do have an organizer badge. Maybe my profile page will be so<br>
full of badges that it'll be like a plate of Skittles :)<br>

</div>This would also be neat but I don't know if it'd be valuable or get<br>
good ROI, frankly. I had letters sent to my employer about my<br>
Toastmaster awards but didn't hear anything about it. Therefore, I'm<br>
guessing they aren't read or they don't matter.<br>
<br>
A recommendation on LinkedIn would be much more valuable for me:<br>
<a href="http://www.linkedin.com/in/jessicaledbetter" target="_blank">http://www.linkedin.com/in/jessicaledbetter</a> :)<br>
<div><br>
> Do you want a thank you letter signed by your participants?<br>
</div>Nope. Their success is the best reward :) OK, that didn't sound quite<br>
as cheesy in my head. It's the truth though. They learn. I learn. We<br>
all succeed.<br>
<div><br>

</div>Fame is nice for a few reasons: great for my career path (assuming<br>
it's a good interview), fantastic for P2PU by adding real stories to<br>
the project, and wonderful in showing the diversity of those that are<br>
participating/developing/contributing/learning. (Not necessarily in<br>
that order.)<br>
<div><br>

</div>Sounds good.<br>
<div><br>
> Did you do this to learn more about the topic your course was on?<br>
</div>Yes.<br>
<div><br>
> To meet and help new people?<br>
</div>Yes.<br>
<div><br>
> To develop specific skills in online facilitation?<br>
</div>Not so much. I do want to do this though. I've been trying to learn<br>
how to teach online but coordinating timezones has proven to be so<br>
difficult in the past that I've mostly been using P2PU's task-style to<br>
do facilitating for me. We all can edit them. We all can comment on<br>
them. I think it's been going well, and have been encouraging those in<br>
the group to give feedback on every task. Plus, I'll gather up<br>
feedback at the end so that we can improve the documentation plus so<br>
that I can learn how better to organize in the future.<br>

<br>
I kid.<br>
<br>
I like stickers too and even have a brand new laptop. My drumbeat<br>
sticker is on the netbook so at least will still get seen :)<br>
