Thanks. That is a wonderful summary. Now I guess I need to go back and read the first three weeks. Can you help me out with what is the real purpose of badges?

The badges are to direct people to your Fan Pages and Facebook pages to get more friends/fans. It's easier to connect with consumers on Facebook than it is in your blog sometimes.
You're welcome Gary! Thanks for stopping by! =)

Kathleen, this looks like a great series that you are doing at your market center. Our team leader had a recent class on use of media and she did mention AR briefly, but this is a great series that is in-depth for the agents to educate them on how AR works and what it has to offer.
Kathleen, sounds like another GREAT Class...I will be catching up making sure I take all of your tips...Thanks for sharing, Jen
Kathleen,
Another great class, not too long and boring and right to the point!
Love it!
Thanks everyone! I'm enjoying the series! It's a lot of work, but also a lot of fun and I'm learning along with everyone else.
See you next week!
Sincerely,
Kathleen
