Continuous Learning Badges, The Firefly Group

Earn Credit when Credit is Due

No one ever graduates from the "College of Continuous Learning" - there's always at least one more

lesson! But that doesn't mean you can't receive acknowledgment of your efforts along the way. Now you can be recognized for your hard work to develop your knowledge and skills through The Firefly Group and the Credly system of digital badges which allows for the online issue and display of credits for achievement.

You can also recive credit for writing and using 99-Word Stories! Find out more HERE.

Here's how it works. When you attend a workshop, respond to a story in the Firefly News Flash, or contribute a Discovery, Activity, or Idea, we'll acknowledge your contribution on the Credly site by awarding you one of our continuous learning badges and adding you to our Hall of Continuous Learning. Then you can add the credit to your resume and share it through your social network.
