Something I can squeeze into my regular procrastination! THANK YOU!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>The Concept<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/community.articulate.com\/articles\/reaction-gifs-elearning\" target=\"_blank\">This week&#8217;s challenge<\/a> is to share a collection of reaction gifs for any e-learning topic we wish to discuss. Very simple concept that I feel most folks, also keen on procrastinating, can stand behind.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>The Method<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Staying on topic, I chose to select reaction gifs related to some of the 83 e-learning challenges we&#8217;ve had. I also chose to stick with pop culture references, in terms of television\/YouTube\/Internet&#8230;I guess all of these gifs (that exist) are pop culture references to some extent, so I think my point is moot. I then curated a bunch of gifs to express various reactions I&#8217;ve had to the challenges over the years, and then I sifted through the <a href=\"https:\/\/community.articulate.com\/articles\/elearning-challenges\" target=\"_blank\">previous challenges<\/a> to see which previous challenge elicited which reaction.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>The Result<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">1. Just when you thought a terrible challenge was over.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/gifrific.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/gob-letter-throw.gif?w=702\" alt=\"\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">(via <a href=\"http:\/\/gifrific.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/gob-letter-throw.gif\" target=\"_blank\">Gifrific<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">That&#8217;s how I felt when I saw that <a href=\"https:\/\/community.articulate.com\/articles\/death-taxes-elearning-mistakes\" target=\"_blank\">E-Learning Challenge #32 &#8211; Death, Taxes, and E-Learning Mistakes<\/a> was coming back to haunt me in <a href=\"https:\/\/community.articulate.com\/articles\/fix-elearning-mistakes\" target=\"_blank\">E-Learning Challenge # 33 &#8211; Fix Your E-Learning Mistakes<\/a>&#8230;and how I feel each time I see one of those challenges retweeted.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">2. When you see that the world will finally understand the importance of font choice.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/offcolortv.com\/offcolortv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/parks-2-chloemcgruff.gif?w=702\" alt=\"\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">(via <a href=\"http:\/\/offcolortv.com\/offcolortv\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/parks-2-chloemcgruff.gif\" target=\"_blank\">OffColorTV<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">This is how I felt when\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/community.articulate.com\/articles\/font-games-interactions-elearning\" target=\"_blank\">E-Learning Challenge #51 &#8211; Font Games and Interactions for E-Learning Designers<\/a> announced.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">3.

When David finally posts an &#8216;easy&#8217; (re: less time-consuming) challenge.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/38.media.tumblr.com\/tumblr_m5trmmvjJl1r59w2ro2_250.gif?w=702&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">(via <a href=\"https:\/\/38.media.tumblr.com\/tumblr_m5trmmvjJl1r59w2ro2_250.gif\" target=\"_blank\">Tumblr<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Much like my feeling for this challenge, and for <a href=\"https:\/\/community.articulate.com\/articles\/education-podcasts-for-learning\" target=\"_blank\">E-Learning Challenge #39 &#8211; Education Podcasts for Online Training<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/community.articulate.com\/articles\/how-do-instructional-designers-work\" target=\"_blank\">E-Learning Challenge #67 &#8211; Podcast: How Do Instructional Designers Get Things Done?<\/a>, I see this challenges and do a happy dance. I don&#8217;t have as many hours in the day as Beyonce, but I got this, boo!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">5.
