Week in Review

Welcome back folks, we are still alive and kicking in the Gardner House...

This week I have just stated a new term of classes with my students and so far it looks like a good batch...
I have one class that was accidentally loaded with ten wonderful children... There was a glitch in scheduling and my ten were all that weren't moved.
I am looking forward to the projects we'll be able to create...

In other news, this week I had the opportunity to teach a class for the Eugene Education Association... It was a two hour session on communication tools, and was held in my own classroom.

I was told there would be around thirty people signing up for the workshop and that they would be getting credit for being there as part of a continuing education series...

The final count was thirty-eight... with people crammed in all along the tables and windows...

I think the event went great.

As usual, with a limited amount of time and users from all levels of expertise, it is often hard to gage what the participants will be successful with. I introduced some of my favorite tools, and the time went by pretty fast for me...

I like doing trainings...

I really get a kick out of sharing.

This is kind of a surprise when I think of how I would have felt giving such an event as a younger version of myself.
I was never a shy person, but I think it would have been pretty intimidating.

At any rate, this weekend will be getting ready for the next round and trying to get control of my living room.
