Opens Space Technology-Because we could go to the topics that interested us.

The conference call demo and the small breakout sessions were very informative. The better could have been the air temperature in the rooms

The afternoon when we broke up and spoke about what we wanted to know. My favorite was parental involvement.

The different roles for participation in Open Space Technology Meetings helped me to understand more about my coworkers’ personalities. It may not be the answer you were looking for but it gave me insight. More activities to help myself and coworkers open up.

I found it helpful to share with the others our experiences working in the Pre-K field.

The group sessions, providing different ideas, opinions and experiences.

Everything, more hands things.

  1. Please provide additional comments you may have.

Thank you for bringing Marcia Knoll back to Oklahoma.

Conference was wonderful. Thank you.

I think the idea of a discussion board or a facebook type interaction kind of community would be a wonderful way to keep in touch and share ideas and help each other.

The activity about Open Space meeting helped me so much on parent involvement. That is such a big problem at our center due to the fact that the majority of our parents are students from the local university. Most parents will not give you two minutes to talk and that’s their MO for the entire year even graduation.

I enjoyed the information provided and appreciate the opportunity that was provided to me here. Thank you.

I think that this was a fantastic conference! Thank you for having us.

Would need help understanding webinar. How do you do on-line chats? That might be helpful.
