This is the first challenge, and I did a second one today. I just wish assessment was part of the process.  I'm looking forward to creating a dozen more of these connected/leveled challenges as soon as the assessment modules are in place, and we can attach badges. See our notes at http://youthvocies.net/planning

  Paul, I've taken a look at both Challenges and I find them engaging and easy to understand. You give learners many wasy to engage the material and accomodate many types of learning styles.

  One question: will people outside of Youth Voices be able to take this Challenge? I'm still unclear as to how people outside the Youth Voices community can participate. In the first task of the Challenge "Youth Voices Profile" (http://cl.ly/0H2k0r1M3j3k2p222i12) the Youth Voices platform isn't linked to so we can't make our own profiles. 

  Thanks Paul! Vanessa

  Hi Paul! This looks like a good start. Here's my feedback:

  • THe description is too long. Put one paragraph there that describes the challenge, Youth Voices and where this challenge falls in the series.
  • Use the tasks to put all the info that is currently in the description:
    • create a profile
    • write a short biography, draw an icon, and make a list of questions about themselves and the world.
    • how to Use Google Docs for this challenge
    • post beside any Discussion they create on Youth Voices

  Also what are the ages of your intended youth group? How will everyone feel about the super cute graphic? I'm thinking about boys and tomboys, here...

  I think this is a great Challenge - simply and clearly presented, and easy to work through. 

  Well done!
