The cutting edge education technology company (Querium), where I run client services and operations, has submitted a a Future 15 session idea for our CEO, Kent Fuka. Here’s an overview:
Ask any math instructor and they’ll tell you that while it’s nice to see a student’s answers to homework and test questions, what they really want to see is how the student got that answer. In this session we will demonstrate expert system technology that provides step-by-step tutoring assistance in a virtual, one-to-one experience. The system has students “show their work” by supporting handwritten work on tablets and reports on that work to instructors to provide insight into student thinking.
For a summary video of this the concept behind the session, check this out: http://vimeo.com/99060342
To VOTE, go here: http://panelpicker.sxsw.com/vote/38969 (Thank you!!)
You will learn about:
- The future of online math problem solving to help you, your kids, your students, and/or your teachers increase success in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) subjects! Will multiple choice questions in math related topics be a thing of the past?!
- Cutting edge, A.I.-based software that evaluates student problem solving step by step.
- Translation of student problem-solving data into actionable insight for instructors.
Thanks in advance for your vote and for sharing the link. We look forward to seeing you there!

This is the first time in several years that I did not attend any SXSW interactive events…not a single one. I don’t feel that I missed out on anything other than not seeing some folks in person who I usually “see” online. Instead I attended SXSWedu and finagled a wristband for SXSW music, and I had a great time.
I was at SXSWedu for my company and it felt to me like the early days of SXSW interactive. There is so much going on in the world of ed tech. I learned a lot and we all met some great potential partners. A friend invited me to go with her to SXSW music, and I heard some really great bands including Kelly Willis & Bruce Robison, Suzanne Vega, David & Olivia, Boy & Bear, and I even got to 
watch a hip hop contest. I saw a few performances by amateurs who made me feel better about my two songs that I’m about to release via DistroKid (after I get an album cover created & designed). I will do a blog post soon linking to the places where you can find my songs.
My kids are helping me create a YouTube video of images. We are going to draft up a contract so they get some experience with a business negotiations (i.e., mom decides what they get paid), they get experience creating something and putting it on YouTube, and I get a good deal a beautiful video created by my kids.
Well, I don’t have anything else I want to write, so I’m leaving you with some photos and images of Pi Day that happened on 3/14/14. One is a photo in downtown Austin at SXSW where planes where creating Pi in the Sky and the other was an image that showed up somewhere in one of my email accounts.
