Why aren’t there more ed tech tools that take awesome educational practices,
and make them easier to replicate?
“It’s hard when you feel way further ahead
than the tools that you need.”–Darla Meeuwsen, Director, Sauvie Island Academy
How can we turn a challenge…
Into an opportunity?
Join us at SXSWedu 2015, where we’ll work
together to identify ways to:
Empower educators to voice their ideas and opinions to create change in policy,
ed tech development, and instructional practices around the U.S.
Foster a collaborative community of educators, entrepreneurs, and others
working toward common goals
Devise solutions to invigorate innovation in education and propagate promising
school and classroom practices on a broader scale
