blog #5: World Issues Conference
For one of the first years running this conference i felt that it was pretty successful. I found that depending on the group of students the presentation changed. Some groups were extremely involved and there was great group discussions, were as with other groups they were extremely shy and it relied to much on the group leaders. As well when it came to the gap minder activities i felt that a bit better preparation would be better, as with my group we ran out of things to do with our group and were left with a bunch of time to kill. Overall i feel that this conference was good and with a few adjustments and a bit more organisation this could be a huge success in years to come.

I agree! I had an amazing experience with my Grade 8 students but I wish that some of them would have been more involved in the presentations. Overall, it was a success! I got great feedback from my group, they had a fun time!
ReplyDeleteI feel that I had a better experience with my group than you seem to have. I definitely feel that it was a huge success and very eye-opening for a lot of people! Getting shy members of the group more involved is always a struggle in situations like this one.
ReplyDeleteI agree that it was a very successful day! The experience was awesome but more preparation was definitely necessary for some of the activities. A lot of them started off slow.
ReplyDeleteI agree there was definitely a comparison between a lot of the groups! It seemed that majority of the kids put a lot of effort in but some were not as involved in their own presentations.
ReplyDeleteThis was a great experience, I think the kids had an informative and fun time!
