The Social Butterfly Challenge

  

A challenge! Earn a badge!

This challenge is deceptively easy. For some of you, it may be really easy, but many of us are kind of shy at heart (hi! that's me!). Still, we also tend to like a little interaction as well as recognition for our work.  Every performer needs an audience, right?

With that in mind, let's practice being social butterflies.

WHAT TO DO:

To earn this badge you must:

1. Comment on at least 3 different peer blogs (the class blog doesn't count) that you have not yet commented on previously.
2. Engage with people in two other spaces (Instagram, LinkedIn, Reddit, YouTube ... even X if you're a user), whether people from this class or elsewhere.
3. Write a blog post on your blog that refers to and links to those same three blog posts and embeds, links to, or otherwise provides the receipts for the interactions on other platforms (without violating privacy -- be attentive to public vs private spaces). 
• Weave your evidence into your narrative on that post or tell us why we want to check out these posts or accounts.

BADGE AWARDING

Vanessa and Shiyao will be monitoring blogs for the posts. Help us out -- title the post "Social Butterfly Challenge" or otherwise indicate that you're doing the challenge at the top of your post.

NEED HELP EMBEDDING?

On a lot of social media platforms, if you click on the "..." menu one of the options will be to embed a post, and you'll get a bit of code you can drop into your blog, Canvas, or wherever else strikes your fancy.
