How about some info on how gender affects the use of technology? What are the differences in how boys and girls become engaged in technology and how can we use those differences to keep girls engaged through to post-secondary education?

I think the topics discussed above are great – as were previous topics. However, I’ve never attended any because I feel the cost is very high. In a lot of cases, the same topics can be found online for free, but ISTE charges around $50 for a one hour session. Ben, can you do something about that?

This veers into snake-swallowing-own-tail territory, I know, but how about a critical analysis of the efficacy of crowdsourcing, how personal and professional politics and other considerations influence, weight, or skew outcomes?

Okay, that was only semi-serious.

Seriously, I second your vote for something on school cyberlaw. That might dovetail, both thematically and pragmatically, with social media use, if one were so inclined.

And I really want someone to connect the dots between data visualization as an emerging field/trend and student data, data-driven decisionmaking, RTTT emphasis on “closing the data gap,” etc. Can you wave your magic webinar wand and make that happen?
