SXSWedu - 2015

hank you for being a part of SXSWedu 2015! It's an honor to host such a passionate community of stakeholders, from so many backgrounds in education, year after year. We hope that this time in Austin has a lasting impact and you return home ener- gized, inspired and empowered to turn the ideas sparked and lessons learned into tangible outcomes! This year, SXSWedu's fifth year anniversary, is a special one for us. With the help and guidance of the community, SXSWedu has devel- oped from a regional event into an international platform for connect- ing, collaborating, creating and changing how we teach and learn. We are humbled at the opportunity to host an event that provides a forum to transform teaching and celebrates society's true rock stars, — educators! Thank you for joining us in this unforgettable experience. We appre- ciate it sincerely, and look forward to your continued input and support.
