Day 67: Where are the Girls (and Women)? At SxSw EDU

After returning from walking around the Austin Convention Center for my first day of SxSwEDU 2015,  I can literally say I'm too tired to write.  My brain has been working overtime.  The creative portion of my being is overstimulated already.  And my heart and soul are feel pleased that the topic of women and girls has once again become part of the conversation as we talk about about tech,  the future and innovation in education.  

Here is a sneak preview of the some of the sessions where we'll be talking about women and girls in technology, innovation, and more.   Can't wait to digest.. I'll write more in the morning.
