I have been honored to be included in two education panel proposals for the South by Southwest (SXSW) music, film and social media event held every year in Austin, TX.  It draws thousands of people from all over the country and lasts an entire week.

The two panels are chock full of talented, innovative people who live and breathe education and are dedicated to doing what's best for students.  Feel free to pick the one you like better or vote for both!




Panel 1: 
The Emerging Role of Social Media in Education
Panelists: Richard Byrne, Steven Anderson, Kyle Pace and myself plus a moderator TBD

Panel 2:
Education in the 21st Century
Panelists: Joe Bower, Chris Lehmann, Shelly Blake-Plock and myself plus Aparna Vashisht as moderator

To vote, you will need to create a free Panel Picker account, which only takes a few minutes. SXSW states that they do not use your email address to send information or emails, so don't worry about getting a million emails from them.

Voting ends Friday, August 27th and these crowdsourced votes count for 30% of the total votes!

Thanks for your help!
