PICK YOUR POISON PANEL: Public voting ends on Sept. 5 for the SXSWedu PanelPicker! And if you're having a hard time choosing from the 1,000+ submissions (just check out all these keywords!), here are some biased recommendations:
- Tony Wan looks to clear up the fuss surrounding student data privacy with Jennifer Medbery (Kickboard), Bill Fitzgerald (FunnyMonkey) and Tom Murray (Alliance for Excellent Education);
- CEO Betsy Corcoran joins a panel of cool women edtech leaders--Jessie Woolley-Wilson (Dreambox), Deborah Quazzo (GSV Advisors) and Lynda Weinman (Lynda.com) --to hash through "disruptive" issues;
- Katrina Stevens and Chike Aguh lead a workshop with teachers, edtech leaders, researchers and entrepreneurs to create an "Edtech Bill of Rights";
- Former columnist and dear friend, Frank Catalano, explores how the "Big Three" publishers are trying to re-invent themselves through acquisitions and incubators.
Much learning and laughter guaranteed. Get your votes in!
