SXSWedu is unlike any educational technology conference I’ve ever attended. There is no warehouse of booths at its core but a full schedule of lectures and discussions set amid a whirlwind of networking events. While some found the sessions lacking, I have returned energized and impressed at the innovators of edtech and the ideals (and tools) they’re advancing.
