Our flight's arrival time to Bangkok is 21:20 and we will not be able to meet the registration deadline at Miracle Hotel. Would it be possible to extend the deadline so that we won't have a hassle on Friday. Khine.

Day two!!

My mind is filled with vivid memories of today. So many new ideas to think of as we plan for how to make a difference in our future. Tonight was a beautiful balmy evening on the river. All of the temples were lit up making the journey unforgettable!!! The restaurant was just right. We ate outside very comfortably thanks to the warm breeze.

Tomorrow we will also have a very full day beginning with Jean Francois Rischard's video made in Paris just for our conference. We will ask you to share your… Continue

Best place on the planet!!

It did seem we all were at the best place on the planet!!!! I liked everything about our first day. I am very much looking forward to tomorrow. Any one writing on the NING tonight, see me for a free yogurt cone tomorrow for your efforts.
Tomorrow night we will be cruising the majestic river and eating dinner on the river, two of my favorite things to do in Bangkok.

Sleep well and see you in the morning!!

Happy New Year!! Regards

At 1:32pm on December 12, 2008, Stephen Durie said…: Ok ive registered us and will work on getting the kids organised in the new year. Thanks

At 1:27pm on December 12, 2008, Stephen Durie said…: Hi Linda, In that case I can register now and add the students names in Jan once we get organised. I assume the registration software will let me do it that way? Thanks :)

At 1:14pm on December 12, 2008, Stephen Durie said…: HI Linda, Our school is thinking of coming to the BKK conference and bringing a team from our High school in Hk but are not organised yet. Can you tell me if there is a deadline to register and when it is? There was a deadline of 8th Dec on the website but it disappeared.

At 8:16am on November 11, 2008, Jay Peters said…: Hi Linda...How are you? Looking forward to another interesting conference this year in Bangkok. I have a quick question for you regarding presentation expectations etc. Is it possible to have two groups represent a school? We have a middle school group as well as a high school one...not doing the same thing. I totally understand that you want to keep participation by students to 8th through 12th grades. Any thoughts on this? thanks, I will check back..

Thank you for a great GIN Conference last year. I hope I can attend again this year. If I can't attend in person I will attend online. This Ning network is a great place to store and share information. It needs a little promotion though if the GIN attendees are going to use it well. If I can help out at all, just let me know.

By the way, David Gran told me that there is a project in the works that aims to highlight global issues videos. I have started The GIV Project. It's just the framework of an idea now, but I will probable drop it if you launch something similar. A teacher at my school wants to introduce to GIN a similar video project. What are your thoughts? Plans?

Best,

Tod
