While I had to spend much of my time running around like a crazy man with real-time logistics, the small amounts of free time I had, I spent in the Student Ambassadors' presentation. The content was terrific but I was even more impressed to have these students presenting to an adult professional development conference (and doing a great job of engaging the audience). It was this session, of all of them at the conference, that made really think the some of the hype we have been hearing about 'digital natives' might have some truth in it. <BR/><BR/> Inviting students to present at FOSSVT was a big experiment and one that I would now say was an unqualified success. It has got me thinking of how we can expand student involvement next year. Perhaps I can find some way to temp Lucie and the Ambassadors to participate in the planning committee for next year! :-)<BR/><BR/>Bryant Patten<BR/>National Center for Open Source and Education<BR/>www.ncose.orgbpattenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17466236016813133998noreply@blogger.com
