Participants Feedback from a Recent Presentation

I enjoyed the various games we played during the session.  It helped me when you listed them on the chalkboard (Pre/During/Post).  I feel that I have learned some new strategies to try with my students when school starts in August.  I also liked the handouts we got from our classmates.

The activities presented are ones I look forward to trying out in my classroom I especially enjoyed your sense of humor.  You made a fun, non-threatening atmosphere. 

Bill, I really appreciated all of the practical ideas that you presented by actually modeling them over the past few days.  I enjoyed the fun atmosphere you created that allowed us to feel comfortable enough to take risks and express ourselves.  The humor you wove throughout your teaching is fantastic!  I enjoyed the workshop because of you.

Participating in games was helpful and the part I will retain the most for future use in the classroom.  Your sense of humor is remarkable and has made this a very enjoyable workshop. 

The games and the poetry were the parts of this class I enjoyed the most.  This class was so much fun.

I really liked the “snowball” activity.  Getting ideas from the others will be helpful.  We covered a lot of topics that were good.  The Oprah video: Great!  Very lifting.  The only thing I would say negative would be that everything seemed to be geared toward K-1-2.  Thanks!

I really liked the way you involved everyone with the activities instead of making us sit all day.  I got a lot of good ideas from the activities.  When you listed the activities on the board in pre, during and post categories that was really helpful.  Now I have a selection of activities for all aspects of a lesson.  I needed activities to do which are a good substitute for worksheets.

I liked all of the hands-on activities.  A working lunch was great and appreciated.  Your packet of the activities you used was beneficial.
