Personally I think that every event should be covered in real time by students in the field. Of the hundreds of education conferences I've attended, I can count on one hand the number that have engaged students in this way. That doesn't mean every student should do this. But for those who are so inclined, reporting on an event is an unparalleled way of engaging with the event, particularly when you won't be speaking and your alternative is to be a member of the audience. The current post from J-Source involves student journalists, but there's no reason why students from all disciplines couldn't be included (the same could be said of professional media).
