they matter.

ReputationWho you are
Status & AffirmationWhat you did
Group identificationWho is like you

Gamification
lesson #2
Badges are earned
Badges are status
“When I got my expert badge I bragged to my kids and said 'there see I told you I was an expert' lol its not often we get
called such things so why shouldn't we be pleased with
ourselves”
Leaders on stage
Teams battle
Teams = common goal
“We are lagging behind! I am sure with a gobby lass like
me we can head back to the top!!! “
Wow first place thats great and I would say a very big thank you to The Duchess and Hettie who have
placed some great posts.
We like to be challenged
