StudentCon 2010

If I learned anything this past weekend from my virtual attendance of Educon, I learned that teachers need to occasionally take a back seat to their students and learn from them. Students have so much to offer and we, as educators, forget that we are not always the experts in the room nor do we have to be.
It is in this spirit that I am proposing to my principal a student-led teacher technology conference called StudentCon 2010 – Citrus County’s ONLY student-led technology conference.
The planning for this event is in it’s early stages, so I am asking for help. I have never organized anything like this before. I have never asked teachers to attend sessions completely led by students and, quite frankly, have no idea how the teachers at my school will react to it.
I’m looking for ideas, suggestions, or words of caution. I have created a wiki for the conference where I am brainstorming ideas and would LOVE input from anyone. If you can help out in any way, please visit the StudentCon 2010 wiki and offer any suggestions or advice you may have.
My students are very excited about this. Their enthusiasm is contagious…
