Thank you for your proposal.  Because this a student technology conference, will you be able to have students be an active part of your presentation?

[Erica Thorsen]

We are having a series of snow days right now so we can't 100% guarantee.  If we get back to school before Saturday, we will at the very least pre-record some students to incorperate into the presentation if we can't get any that are available on Saturday.
