Sit Conference a success!

WSIL TV SIT Coverage CARBONDALE -- Students across our region spent Saturday teaching others about technology. More than a hundred students turned out for the Students Involved with Technology Conference at Carbondale Middle School. The event encourages students to teach the hands-on technology tools they've learned or enjoy using. The conference comes at a time when there's a big push for more technology in classrooms. "Without the proper training of the teachers and the staff, it makes it difficult for them to have to walk into a classroom, have equipment, expect to know what to do with it. So we're going get the kids involved and have them help the teachers out a little bit," says Kurt Strothmann, an SIT volunteer. Volunteers helped the day run smoothly, but all the presentations were prepared by students in third through 12th grades. It's the second year Carbondale Middle School has hosted the statewide event.
