Student Workshops
The 2007 Great Plains Technology Conference was designed to encourage statewide student participation. A new and exciting opportunity was added to this year’s conference by utilizing the latest technology available. By partnering with EduTech, North Dakota ITD and NDSU we were able to deliver the conference content by using the Interactive Video Network (IVN) system and by streaming the sessions live over the World Wide Web.
