Thought Leaders of the Future - Taking Education from the Faceless to the Personal
Technology is playing an increasing role in re-shaping the teaching and learning experience. We are witnessing a major shift from the standardisation of education to the provision of a more customised solution in answer to the learning needs of the individual.
Award-winning entrepreneur Ramona Pierson, will be sharing her own inspiring journey from an accident that left her in a coma for 18 months, and blind for 11 years, to her extraordinary contribution to the personalisation of education through the use of technology.
MEET THE SPEAKER
Ms. Ramona Pierson
Chief Executive Officer, Declara
Award winning Silicon Valley entrepreneur in Education Technology
At age 22, Ramona Pierson was hit by a drunk driver while running and spent 18 months in a coma and 11 years blind. She relearned everything from breathing and seeing to walking and smiling. From this experience arose the drive to build companies where personalized learning and relearning are the center of all products. |
