In planning the conference, the students first had to develop a conference mission statement. The conference, by students and for all, is committed to:
Fostering a better understanding of how students use technology and to engage students, teachers and administrators in a conversation about technology.
Assisting teachers and administrators in understanding how students use technology both in and out of the classroom.
Strengthening the relationship between students, teachers, and administrators about technology in the classroom.
The CoolCatTeacher is an education blog that focuses in on technology. Blogger, Vicki Davis writes an article about the very FIRST ever student-led technology conference (back in Jan, 2015).
