It was a good idea that we switched everyone to one side so I could address them head on. Better for them too, and less running around for me, or I would've been doubly tired!<br /><br />Let's do a follow up workshop like we're doing with the other KK group. Keep the momentum going.Borneo Expat Writerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15657806224924444058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7010953641145956608.post-12415147748854493232011-04-16T07:42:24.174-07:002011-04-16T07:42:24.174-07:00Great to read about our doings on your blog, Rober...Great to read about our doings on your blog, Robert.

Finally I got to meet you. Glad you...Sintaicharles,<br />Finally I got to meet you. Glad you enjoyed it and were able to fly up for the day. We were able to accomplish a lot. I liked the mix of participants; they were there because they wanted to be there. <br /><br />Several of the academics in the first KK workshop just wanted their name on the attendance so they can get credit for attending, and then skipped out the first chance they had! <br /><br />Next time, we should charge them a fee and open it up to the university and the students, then we'll only get those who are truly interested and that always helps. Still those who stayed for the full six hours had a great time. I was glad to have them.<br /><br />I had one all-day event at Unimas and not a single person left. Maybe it was because we held the event away from their departments, so the temptation to check email or catch up in other work wasn't as strong... <br /><br />Yes, some heads of department aren't very efficient about relaying news, if they relay it at all. Often they sit on it for two weeks (or two months) and then send it out the day before when people had already made other plans. Had only they known about it sooner...Borneo Expat Writerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15657806224924444058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7010953641145956608.post-34943360357955639232011-04-12T16:02:45.268-07:002011-04-12T16:02:45.268-07:00I enjoyed your workshop very much.

I will definitely attend the follow-up workshop.<br />Actually I had a chance to attend the one in Miri but the head of my school's language department did not let me know about it.sintaicharleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11868981642239038913noreply@blogger.com
