Updated Workshop Outline Feedback

Good outline but I'm not clear is whether you have 25% interactivity time after 3 PM?Or are you
balancing the 25% interactivity across your whole workshop?
Please synchronize your break at 2:30 PM with the other groups
please identify your goal specifically not as an objective.
For each time segment on new lesson plan please identify who is the facilitator /presenter and who is
the supporter/backup person[s]
