Colin is the CEO and co-founder of Showbie. He has been building school software for over a decade. When Apple releases the iPad, he set out to harness the true power of the tablet. Aware of the challenges involved when software is implemented ‘top down’ in the classroom, Colin worked alongside teachers to build tools they not only needed, but also loved.
Today’s classrooms are full of students who want to feel special. They want to have personalised interaction with teachers, they want instant access to information, and they want it in a way that is meaningful to them. It’s a millennial thing, a Generation Y thing; and to fully engage these millennials, it’s something schools need to be very mindful of.
