South by Southwest EDU

The following information is from the SxSWEDU website. This is one of the best conferences I have attended in years! Please view the information below and then support your Avila Ridiculous Innovation Team by voting on their presentation.

SXSWedu seeks to drive meaningful conversation and collaboration around promising practices to improve teaching and learning. Programming is designed for SXSWedu’s diverse audience of education stakeholders, all of whom are committed to creating a brighter tomorrow.

SXSWedu highlights thought-provoking Featured and Keynote Speakers in special sessions that bring to light today's leading topics and trends in education.

Enriched by a diverse swath of additional sessions and workshops, SXSWedu programming seeks to inspire, engage, enlighten and entertain its passionate, forward-leaning community of education innovators.

SXSWedu programming is largely determined by the greater community's input and session submissions via PanelPicker, its an online session submission tool. Proposals submitted in PanelPicker, along with input from the SXSWedu Advisory Board, play an important role in informing the final programming decisions and selections for the event.

The time has come for you to weigh in on the PanelPicker proposals we received. With a record number of innovative ideas proposed, we need your help reviewing, voting and commenting on the session proposals submitted for SXSWedu 2014!
