Workshops

Hello everybody,
It has been sometimes that I have not written in my blog. i have been lurking in second life.

Finally, I have attented two workshops. It was last Tuesday

At the beginning, it was always frustrating to get involved in doing the workshop. By the course of time, the procedure became obvious and easy to implement the activities and the tasks that the presenter would suggest.

My recurrent problem has always been the connection of the internets, which is slow from time to time. I had to log off many times.

I have learned all the details in the first workshop since I kept asking Melanie all the childish questions that came to my mind. These questions were enthusiastically answered. Melanie was so patient and understood the needs of a newbie. Therefore, in the second workshop, I was aware of the structure and the context delivery, despite the bad connection I had. It took almost two hours to accomplish the whole workshop. There was a follow up; Melanie asked whether I had any questions that I was interested to know. In fact, I completely understand all the details. However, I should have asked Melanie a question.
