Sha-E-fest 2010

Just returned from sha-E-fest 2010 conference at Waikato Institute of Technology and learned a lot. I was particularly interested in Sarah Stewart’s workshop ‘The best things in life are free’. She mentioned that Bronwyn Hegarty was the co presenter of the workshop but couldn’t attend the conference for some reasons. Genuinely speaking, that was a wonderful collection of free programmes put together for tecno newbies. I need to create accounts and play around with those programmes to get the benefit of it. Thanks for the effort Bronwyn. I enjoyed it.

Need analysis

I have developed a need analysis survey using ‘surveymonkey’ and posted the link on my project page for people to access so that I can have some feedback before doing the actual survey. Here is the link if you haven’t visited my project page. Click here to take survey

Catching up

I had gone away on bereavement leave for two weeks and just got back to work today. Unfortunately, I did not have internet facilities to keep up with the discussions/ readings. I had a hectic time at the funeral house and hardly had any sleep. My return journey was a nightmare with 15 hrs travel and 10 hrs transit! At the Auckland airport I waited extra two hours as I lost my baggages… I arrived yesterday and had to come to work today though still feeling jetlag…
I don’t know where to start now. I’m far behind the course. I wanted to start my need analysis this week but the ESOL students are on term break and won’t be back till October.
I’m attending the e-fest conference in Hamilton next week on the 27/28 September. Anyone else from our course taking part?
