As much as last week’s SXSWedu in Austin was about wispy visions of the future and the “big picture” of edtech, this week’s COSN15 Conference will focus on the edtech realities of leading school districts into that future. Some of the most celebrated educators, including Mark Edwards, Superintendent, Mooresville Graded School District, and Lenny Schad, Chief Information/Technology Officer, Houston Independent School District, will be speaking. Many more will be in attendance, including this year’s honorees for the National School Board association 20 to Watch. There will also be a sneak peek into 2015 k-12 Horizon report, which has always helped us here at T&L help you see what trends are in store for your work. I’m hoping to Tweet as much as possible during the event so follow along (no selfies, promise.) —Kevin Hogan
