Larry Berger Biography :

Larry Berger is CEO and co-founder of Wireless Generation, an education company with offices in New York, Atlanta, and Dallas that pioneered the adaptation of mobile technologies for use in managing and improving teaching and learning in grades Pre-K-6. Berger led the invention of Wireless Generation s mCLASS system, which enables educators to administer early reading and math formative assessments using handheld computers, then immediately receive easy-to-understand Web-based reports that support educators in using data to make decisions about instruction. The company s research and development process is grounded in listening to educators and gaining a deep understanding of their challenges and work processes. As a result, Wireless Generation offerings optimally combine mobile tools, Internet technology, and in-person professional services to help improve student achievement in reading and math. Today Wireless Generation s mCLASS products and services streamline collection of data about student learning needs and school operations, facilitate data analysis and interpretation, and build educators capacity to implement data-driven instructional programs that deliver better outcomes for more than 2.5 million children. State and district school systems across the country and overseas now rely upon these offerings to achieve and sustain growth in their classrooms. Prior to launching Wireless Generation, Larry was the President of InterDimensions, a Web solutions company based in New York and Boston. He also served as the Educational Technology Specialist at The Children's Aid Society, where he led the development of four Technology Playgrounds in Harlem and Staten Island, community computer labs in disadvantaged neighborhoods that have served as models of using technology to empower young people. Larry also developed (with Wireless Generation co-founder Greg Gunn) The Hole in The Web, an online extension of Paul Newman's Hole In The Wall Gang Camp for children with cancer and blood diseases. As a White House Fellow, Larry worked on Educational Technology at NASA, where he authored a vision of NASA's 21st century educational technology agenda, and did the conceptual design and early development of NASA BioBLAST, a curriculum module for high school biology. Larry has published numerous articles on education technology and the use of mobile computing to support diagnostic instruction. In addition, he is the co-author of I Will Sing Life, a book about the poetry writing program he developed and taught for children with serious illnesses, and of Up Your Score: The Underground Guide To The SAT, a best-selling SAT review book that he wrote when he was in high school. He currently serves as a board member for Peer Health Exchange, a not-for-profit that trains college students to deliver a rigorous health curriculum to students in high schools that otherwise have no health education. Larry holds a B.A. summa cum laude from Yale and was a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford University.
