Revisiting expectations, sharing our experiences and filling in the evaluation forms
Figure out what the next steps are.
In a unique position where we’re in the middle – lots happening and a lot moving – no need for next steps.
Very briefly, let’s summarise, how did it go. What was useful, what was most helpful, did it meet or exceed your expectations?
Secondly Ian R will engage group around a discussion around the question of between now and the end of the session and over the next months, how can we stay connected with each other.
-
Network, learn about social media, learn more about the circuit riders.
-
Good to meet the others that test your ideas – feedback from others
-
Wanted to network, exchange ideas – learnt a lot and networked more than ever
-
Exceeded expectations, enjoyed meeting people on the uk riders list and see all the structural stuff which has been goingon with Lasa and ICT Hub
-
Good to see lots of new faces and see how the body has moved on. Used to be just techies but now wider group.
-
Good workshops – content and delivery was good, e.g. how the subject was approached to make it clear without losing people in the process
-
Increased my knowledge and things I can use in my life
-
Excellent, excellent couple of days – meetig people, sharing ideas. Hopefully it’ll continue and there was such a big adrenalin rush when the movement started and it’s great that that enthusiasm is still there and meeting together and keeping ideas fresh will pull in more money from funders.
-
Being able to start of conversations face to face to keep the contact going.
-
Distance travelled as a community – standards, principles all in the past and now it’s moving forward to mentoring, learning, informal learning etc. As a facilitator it was again informal learning and everybody contributed and learnt from each other.
-
Networking and good sessions
-
Good to be able to put stuff up and tag it, and have all the info up straight away for people who weren’t able to make it.
-
Networking, learning, sharing, nobody knows everything – integration and shared vision.
-
Everything has been relevant, met great people, solutions suggested, people who can come and speak at events, I mgith even become a circuit rider at some point!
-
I’ve been to loads but this has been the best one for me – it’s moved up to a new level. Netwokring was good but helped having colleague from own organisation to talk about things together and now we have the enthusiasm to take something forward at work.
-
Changed my mind-set in terms of ICT and cr. Useful networking – going back with lots of information
-
Learnt lots from the workshops, great to meet everyone – very friendly and good contribution from everyone. Have ltos of new tools I can use.
-
The communication and the conf helped me see the bigger picture of what CRs really do.
Met some great people – overwhelemed how friendly people are. CR learning and skills development – very good session. Learnt a difft style which has given me more confidence.
-
Thanks to Lasa for the opportunity to understand what a CR is. From my country I have lots of new ideas but didn’t know how to use it, and Lasa has given me that opportunity – very nice people.
-
Conference has been great – I’m the youngest and it’s given me confidence and I know I need to keep going and get more experience.
-
Networking in ways around CR work better when they work together and share ideas. The social enterprise session was good as it was almost a conversation between the participants – good way to learn and network.
-
Online aspects of the conference were great as even though I wasn’t able to make any of the conference I could keep up with everything.. it’s moved on and has become a closer community.
-
Conferences have always been useful and I always learn new things, and on this occasion what I learnt was more uniquie, particularly the online document tools and where we’re mvng from the internet to other tools which help us to be more enaged and interact more online. How to use the stategy and using online engagement…although we discuss these in our work, I’ll actually now implement it in my
-
Blown away – I was here last year and I feel so energised
-
Different people here, and from a networking point of view when there were issues with note-takers and faciliators, everyone stepped in to help. We now have over 135 images on Flickr
-
A real maturing of the level of skills, knowledge and awareness – and the energy of everyone present.
-
Been organising the conference since April 2007 and occupied a lot of time, but it’s been great. Everyone’s been fantastic
-
Networking – lots of new ideas…now have to tell my boss that we’re doing things wrong!
-
It’s exceeded my expecations, it’s not been like a conference in suits, it’s been useful…going to go back and have a coup – so mucjh I’ve been able to share and so much I still want to learn.
-
Fantastic to get a feel for the movement – I’m not a circuit rider yet but hopefully it’s kick-started that process. My scepticism of Web 2.0 – it’s turned my head around.
Ian Runeckles summed up the conference:
Paul T evaluated the conference from last year and we read this in detail so we could change some fo the things we did last year.
In order to keep the momentum rolling which has been generated from this conference – what can we do? We have certain remit to work on CR development training, but we are happy to take on board what you want.
