I managed to catch the SXSWEdu wrap up today. I purchased a badge to attend SXSW Interactive, but arrived in Austin a day early to sneak a peek at some of the Edu content.
The speaker lineup was eclectic: Mimi Ito was brilliant, and spoke eloquently about Connected Learning. Goldie Hawn made a great case for her own education program, all based on Mindfulness and Brain Breaks. Then Sal Khan took the stage, the unassuming, incredibly humble and very funny founder of Khan Academy.
Sal Khan said something so blindingly obvious, but yet so insightful. He pointed out how learning in a technology environment works: it’s like a web. He actually showed us the picture of the data visualization that represents the math curriculum on Khan academy, how each node, once mastered, has as it’s offshoots a number of possible next nodes that build upon that mastery.
