Four of our
very own "Tech Talons", Mario Rodriquez, Daniel Zerener, Jacob McGee &
Sean Montonye participated in
the Wichita Student Technology Leadership Conference on October 27, 2005 at JF-ISC. In all, 8 schools were represented by 49 students.
After eating lunch, and voting for a WSTL logo; each Tech Talon got to learn how
to use a Palm Pilot/handheld to create a business card and beam it to other
participants. Then they participated in 3 workshops covering "Sharing
Through the Portal", "Technology Integration" and "Leadership".
It was great to have some of our students involved in a WSTL event so soon after
