TESTIMONIALS

Dear Jon

I thought that your and Richard's workshop at the IFTE conference was packed with ideas and hands on activities which would be bound to interest and engage students.

The feedback from the teachers was that it was one of the best, and most useful sessions they had attended.

I thought the tenor of the session was a perfect balance between humour and seriousness. I also admired the way that you were both able to tailor your workshop to the teachers that were in it, so that those that were keen to participate were able to do so, but the shy and reserved were also encouraged to join in - and did so.

Congratulations on a terrific session.
