More than 400 educators, administrators and entrepreneurs came together last week for the EdTech Collaborative's 3rd Annual Personalized Learning Summit. We enjoyed learning from presenters and peers alike. From teacher-led sessions to student panels to the Innovation Homeroom, it was an incredible two days.

Here's the keynote video from the Summit, highlighting the vibrant collaboration between Chicago schools, the public library, nonprofits and entrepreneurs that is yielding a tangible impact on kids.

EdSurge hit the nail on the head when it comes to the ed tech scene in Chicago:

With an active, supportive community that bridges formal and informal learning, teachers and entrepreneurs, Chicago’s ed tech ecosystem is stepping up to offer broader education opportunities for all learners.
