We’ve been on the ground covering South by Southwest since Monday. Why Monday? Because that’s when sxswedu started. The educational portion of SXSW is growing at almost the same rate SXSW Interactive grew at in it’s earliest years. This years education fest featured some great panels and discussions along with a Google classroom, great speakers and awesome parties.
After that we kicked it into high gear where we still have two days left in the SXSW Interactive festival. Here are 10 stories you may have missed if you were away from the internet this weekend:
