I started my own company, SynapticMash, and really wanted to bring the neuro and cognitive sciences into education. We built a very interesting platform that would allow us to collect data so we can start working towards my end goal of bringing in neuro and cognitive sciences. Promethean bought my company about a year ago.

That has allowed me to do some interesting things in augmented reality, immersive learning environments, personalised learning and building algorithms with University of Denver.

My work there was in building out the learning progression for students and teachers, building the algorithms that allow us to personalise instructions for our students and teachers and deliver content based on the data and basically uncap learning for kids. Instead of just getting them to pass a test, we're really looking at the potential of learning beyond passing a test.

RP: Now that we have all this technology driven into the classrooms, now is the time to synchronise our platforms and take advantage of the technology so we can create personalised learning for all our students. Because we have all this data, we need to put context to the data and not just have it sitting in our report, but using it drive instruction and professional development.
