Last night was the time for me to go to University and talk to some of the students .... but only via Skype. (Sigh!)
I offered to just pop over to Kansas but they didn't take me up on it ... (Sigh again!!) I met Melinda who had invited me to speak to her class, and six of her young students.
The class went down very well and lasted for about 45 minutes and I think they all stayed interested .... well no body fell asleep anyway
We covered various aspects of creating a website/blog and the differences between the two. One of the things they wanted to know was how to get your website/blog noticed so that people will visit.
My "Film Crew" was on hand with his trusty camera to film the event. Although I have their permission to blog about the meeting .... the video will remain private.
I have had an email from Melinda this morning and she wrote ....
Christina,
You did a fantastic job!
My students loved getting the chance to talk to you. They thought you were really knowledgeable and were excited to put to use all of the good information you gave them.
You may need to consider going on the lecture circuit. :) You are a natural.
Thank you so much for taking the time to join us. And, of course, thank you to your film crew.
I was greeted in a very friendly manner and once I got started the nerves just fell away.
Thank you to all in the class for your welcome it was so nice to meet you ... Josiah keep that diary on hand ... and Rachel if you make a card then add it to the Gallery on Card Making Magic.
Melinda .... well what can I say about Melinda except she is beautiful and that hair is to die for ....
More later .... and that Spellbinders Card
Hugs xx
Well done, Christina. I'm sure that they were very impressed with your knowledge and enthralled with your beautiful accent!
