The Best Tweets, Vines and Photos from EDUCAUSE 2013
Another EDUCAUSE conference has come and gone. Educators and IT leaders are back in their offices, trying filter and analyze the enormous amount of information they absorbed in the past few days. Among the hottest topics this year were gamification, mobility, cloud computing and social media. We did our best to cover every minute of EDUCAUSE but we couldn't keep up with 100+ attendees talking about the event on Twitter. We pulled together some of our favorite tweets, photos and videos from social media to keep you inspired until EDUCAUSE 2014.

Gamers fail 80% of the time, but are resilient and don't give up. Very different from failing in our education system. @avantgame #edu13
