Overall, how would you rate this workshop?[[br]] 3 (1) 4 (6) 5 (8) ) [[br]] Comments:[[br]] • I thought everything flowed smoothly and democratically, and I was really impressed by who was in the room[[br]] • Awesome conversation and people[[br]] • MOAR [sic] please. Round II: Technology Liberation![[br]] • I felt inspired and learned a lot. Great networking opportunity.[[br]] • Great facilitation.[[br]] • It was long and the room needed to be mixed up more than once so we could have a range of expertise/experience shared. [[br]] • Progressive discussion on this topic with very bright minds in the room. [[br]] 2. How would you rate the usefulness of the content? [[br]] Panel Discussion 3 (1) 4 (5) 5 (7) ) [[br]] Tech Demo 3 (3) 4 (4) 5 (5) ) [[br]] Discussion 3 (1) 4 (3) 5 (11) ) [[br]] Comments:[[br]][[br]] • I really loved the small group discussion. Will take back tech tools to my shop. [[br]] • Discussion after panel could have been moderated a bit more strategically. [[br]] • Presentations were a bit unprepared and scattered, but very informative [[br]] • Demo? Loved the discussion. I felt the “demo”session would have been more useful with a screen projector of the tool (a tutorial, but a visual demo) [[br]] • Great ideas and perspective. Facilities challenge and also facilitation challenged [[br]] • PMA is hard! Not totally clear how to process [[br]] • I wish there was a lot more time for the panel because they asked the right questions. [[br]] • Lightning rounds are good, but did not allow for any literal tech demos [[br]] 3. Was there anything missing from the discussion or demonstrations? [[br]] • There could have been more effort to hear from people working directly on or in the tech industry. [[br]] • Never enough time [[br]] • Guidelines of engagement might help set context; step up/step back – use the whoa!; oppression exists but not here. Our practice – we resist [[br]] • Not really! [[br]] • No [[br]] • There was a lot said, still observing (something scribbled) [[br]] • Demonstration of the tools presented (which look great) would have been useful. [[br]] • Practice – hands on with! More space for what people are working on. Could have asked: “What do YOU need?” [[br]] • The time to get to understand where other folks experiences in tech came from (even though there was no hint of bias) [[br]] • Maybe, for the tech demo to have the tools shown on the screen [[br]] • Full day of conversation instead of a 1-hour workshop [[br]] 4. What did you like best or find most useful/interesting about the presentation? [[br]] • International perspectives [[br]] • Learning from everyones experience and perspective [[br]] • Leadership in convening this space is huge. Than you this feels like the beginning. ☺ [[br]] • The tech tools. Loved Rasha’ framing from the beginning. [[br]] • The chance to have meaningful discussion with such a great group of folks. [[br]] • Thought provoking [[br]] • More time, perhaps more realistic division of agenda time [[br]] • Action points/breakouts in the afternoon. Collaborative preparation of the “document” [[br]] • Great diversity of experience and curiosity of spirit. [[br]] • Open sharing, passion and commitment. Thanks for doing it and my participation. [[br]] • The demos and group discussion because of the selection of who was in the room and how they framed their points. [[br]] • Everything! [[br]] 5. Do you have any suggestions for improvements? [[br]] • More facilitation support/prep. Agreement among facilitators about shared practice/structure to hold folks in the space. [[br]] • The room was difficult – I couldn’t see everyone and felt disconnected sitting in the back. But I know that was a logistical problem with the room. [[br]] • Make the PA process more clear, especially the understanding that we’re crafting a statement. • “What are you working on?/What do you need?” [[br]] • I would like to see more speaking roles from global partners… [[br]] 6. Were your personal learning goals met? [[br]] • Yes [[br]] • Yes. MOAR [[br]] • Yes [[br]] • Yes [[br]] • Yes [[br]] • Yes! Thanks everyone! [[br]] • I didn’t have any specific expectation but found the session highly invigorating, informative, interesting and inspiring. [[br]] • Yes [[br]] • Yes, very much so [[br]] • Yes. [[br]] If "No," please describe those expectations that were not met. [[br]] 7. Any other comments? [[br]] • Love Mayfirst [[br]] • Thank you!
