News You Can Use

I've decided to update this blog on a regular basis to provide information that librarians and teachers can use. With that being said, here is some news about a fairly new education and technology conference called SXSWedu . The conference is a joint venture of SXSW and the Texas Education Agency. It will take place March 6-8, 2012 in Austin, TX. Here is a link to the website: http://www.sxswedu.com/ . 2012 will be the second year of the conference. LeVar Burton is listed as one of the keynote speakers. It would be great if school librarians attend and present at the conference, seeing that The Atlantic deemed SXSW 2011 "The Year of the Librarian".
