I found it good because the poor people had 2 days of sitting listening to people talk which eventually wears them out. So I was pleased to come up with questions that worked for our training sector. Only issues I had was room was totally wrong for this activity and key note presenter went over which impacted on time available. I did add an extra twist - I bought lots of freddo frogs (80 of them) (chocolates) and used them as bribery to get them up and moving. Good news is that they are using my PLN website so people are making an effort to become more connected. It definitely was an good strategy and I was pleased to learn it from your workshop.

I really appreciated working with you. It was a shame time was short and the room wasn't suited. Glad it has made you think about the different ways you can make sessions more interactive.

I am now more confident about trying different approaches to presentations using the techniques you've described here.
