Student-run camp lets teachers learn about technology - Liza Roche, Courier-News

Elgin High School math teacher Mary Aydt sat in front of her computer Wednesday, filling in potential subjects for a computerized version of Jeopardy!, while a handful of students from her school looked at the screen over her shoulder. But unlike most days in the traditional school year, the students were in charge, not Aydt.
