Workshop Training

Well, workshop training sounds new for me since I didn't get this subject on my previous study. However, the conductor of this class (Prof. Wuri Soedjatmiko) is not merely new as she was my thesis advisor on my prior study. This class equips the students with the capability of conducting workshop in academic area and it requires some general skills, such as: informational technology (IT), team work, language (english)
Icebreaker was choosen as the first issue on this class since it was helpful to release the tension of tiring students before leading to the new discussion. Basically icebreaker is never a necessity, but always needed. It encourages self disclosure, humor, respect for others and their opinions, thought, and creativity. It provides an escape valve of tension from daily interactions. Most importantly, it allows people to laugh at themselves. (The big book of icebreakers)
To conduct icebreaker, the class were divided into four group of three students. I belonged to second group and d-day of icebreaker is August 4, 2006. Well, we have to prepare it well....so start working now. Indeed, milist were settled on that day to facilitate the class. Through this virtual milist, the students can interact each others and with lecturer based on their pace.
