This was a really comprehensive webinar, with so much valuable information, useful research tips, detailed explanations and helpful suggestions ... and yet very easy to follow, and all presented so clearly and logically. I loved listening to the personal, humorous examples that Cathie shared about her own schooling. As a senior citizen and retired school teacher in Queensland, I had assumed that I would know a fair bit about the subject, but I was wrong! Thank you Cathie for sharing your insights and knowledge, and thank you to Geoff and the Legacy team for making these webinars freely available to us.
Thanks very much Tricia - glad you found it useful.
This is the first webinar I have listened to live and in 'real time' for my part of the world. Easy to listen to. Thank you for the information provided. So much more information than I realised that can be found from the education records. Looking forward to the next webinar 'DOWNUNDER'.
Excellent speaker, very interesting and relevant topic, great examples. Thank you.
Thanks very much Therese.
