[jordan]

It has almost been a month since we gathered to learn, share, and grow together, at InstructureCon!

You may have noticed that some of the video recordings from #instcon sessions have been posted to our Youtube Channel. Be sure to subscribe to our channel and you'll get notified whenever we upload new videos! And if you're just feeling nostalgic, feel free to check out the InstructureCon 2015 - Highlight Reel.

Lest ye forget, just before the conference began, we posed an #instcon challenge. Now we're here to share with you the 10 lucky well-deserving winners! The first ten people who posted to the InstructureCon 2015 Blog​ will receive a 30 point bonus, in the Canvas Community! You can hover over their names and learn more about them, and even "follow" them!

Oh, and if you weren't fast enough to earn this big bundle of points, there are lots of ways that everyone can earn points/reputation in the Community! What if you could use your points to purchase awesome Canvas swag?!

Now, here are your winners:

1.  @dlyons ​
2.  @rbagent ​
3.  @marthazumack ​
4.  @kona ​
5. cfierro​
6.  @clong ​
7.  @travis_thurston ​
8.  @KristinL ​
9.  @mjennings ​
10.  @canvas_admin 

For the honorable mention (+20 pts), we'd also like to recognize  @G_Petruzella ​ and  @ewander  who posted the 11th and 12th blog entries, respectively. What ever would we have done if we didn't know how to take sneakyselfieswithkenneth​??

We miss you all, and are already looking forward to next year!

Onward and upward!

Awesome! Thanks!!

[G_Petruzella]

"honorable" indeed - it's an honor to be mentioned in such august company as this powerhouse lineup. 🙂

[dlyons]

I'd like to thank the academy for this honor. 😄

[jordan]

... or should we say "honour" like the rest of the english speaking world?

[clong]

Yummy, I like being a Chicken Dinner Winner. Thanks! :smileycool:

I might have seen about 30 or so super secret concept drawings of a panda head by your marketing team in different attire.  From super hero to possibly Zombie if i am not mistaken.  If i could get the Astronaut Panda on a Canvas T-shirt you can just take my money/points now!

[DaleDrees]

Agree - All points for Astronaut Panda - Woo hoo!

[mjennings]

You mean this guy?

I found them all wandering around the interwebs one day and made sure to capture them all!!

[kona]

This is awesome!!

[DaleDrees]

YES! Even better than I was imagining!!

[jazemlya]

Yes thats it!!!!!!  Put this on a t-shirt now!!!!!

[clong]

Wow! That looks like a Zombie Astronaut Panda (notice the red fang). Where did you see these? I'd love a nice sticker of that one!

[jazemlya]

There are a bunch of other ones that i have seen, but this one was the one that stood out to me the most.  I cant reveal my sources of where I saw this first but it seems that they were out on the interwebs.

[mjennings]

So I have put together a contact sheet of all the ones I found and saved a while back. Enjoy.

[DaleDrees]

All of them on the second row made me laugh!

[mjennings]

Yeah - I used the Stormtrooper Panda in a training flyer. It was awesome but not appreciate. I was told I couldn't use it. sadpanda​

[kona]

Told by who? Your Institution?

[mjennings]

Yeah. Not as "professional" as they want the schools image to be presented.

[kona]

Dislike. :smileyangry:

[DaleDrees]

Agree - Dislike!

[kmeeusen]

I understand! We have the "Branding" police on our campus too! We still get away with a lot, and I know how to shine-on their complaints, but they have iron-fisted control of the bulletin boards:(

[mjennings]

Here's the offending flyer. I happy to send the editable version if someone else wants to use it.

[G_Petruzella]

Sweet poster - your branding folks seem a humorless bunch,  @mjennings ​. >:-|​

[DaleDrees]

Hearts of Stone I tell you!

[SHEBENE]

 @mjennings  that poster is great! I would totally like to try and get that past our branding strike force if you would share it with me. I might swap the stormtrooper for the astronaut or pirate though! Arrrrr!

[kona]

This is awesome! Thanks!

[kmeeusen]

Hey Jordan! I just went in there but do not yet see a playlist for InstructureCon 2015.

[DaleDrees]

I didn't see them either

[canvas_admin]

I wasn't even aware of the extra points giveaway!   I love this new community and the fact I can get extra points without even realizing it! The conference truly was a blast and I look forward to more.
