MY SXSWedu SXSWe du SXSW edu e SXSWedu CONFERENCE & FESTIVAL MON.-THUR., MARCH 4TH –7TH It's pretty amazing to see how this conference has grown and I think it's an illustration of my key message today, which is: I think this is a special time for technology in education.

Whether it was the keynotes, breakout sessions or workshops, I learned so much and continue to apply that knowledge in numerous ways. THANK YOU for a stellar learning opportunity!
