On the first day of the training, Ms.Olivia and Pak Budi were in charge. They introduced the technology that could be integrated into the class. Participants seemed all excited and participated really well in the hands-on activities that Pak Budi and Ms. Olivia offered. On the second day, Ms. Elisa, who happens to be the dean of the faculty, worked for hand in hand with our Pak Irfan to share some practical knowledge on strategic management and collaborations. Among the participants were principals and policymakers from the regional Ministry of Education and Culture and the Ministry of Religious Affairs.
