Subject: Conduction through electrolyte solution

Hello, I am in an AP chemistry class and right now we are studying 
electrolytes. I know that dissociated ions are what make these solutions 
conductive, but I was wondering what the mechanism of conduction is. How do 
the electrons acually move in to and out of the ions? I would intuitively 
think that ions would be worse conductors since they have higher ionization 
energies than the unionized molecule. My teach is also stumped on this, any 
insight woul help a lot. Thank you very much.
