In May 2010, lynda.com employees were asked to share how they have used training in the lynda.com Online Training Library® to design and create personal projects. The best entry would receive an Apple iPad. After reviewing the many entries, the panel of judges couldn’t decide on just one winner.
This movie highlights how three of lynda.com’s employees put into practice what we teach every day. Michelle Fitzgerald in the lynda.com legal department made a family video for her parent’s 50th wedding anniversary with iMovie. Scott Erickson, from the lynda.com production department, created stunning photos from a road trip with the help of Aperture. Steve Hahn from the lynda.com IT department learned photo retouching with Photoshop and restored a valuable family photograph.
Training used in the winning entries:
lynda.com iMovie training
lynda.com Aperture training
Photoshop CS4 One-on-One series

I’m a lynda.com author (Access 2010), and I’ve used the lynda.com library to teach a Photoshop Elements 8 class, and the FileMaker 10 course to design a database for a local repair company.
Can I assume all three received an Apple iPad? If so, lynda.com rocks, IMHO.
This is very cool. I love seeing how real people–folks I know–use skills learned from lynda.com courses. So creative!
Yes – all three got iPads! Another employee contest is pending – results to be published later in the year!
