Geoff Stead
Head of Innovation / Tribal
Geoff is one of Tribal’s thought leaders on new technologies, and how they can be used for learning, communication and collaboration. He and his team of technical inventors and educational wizards build mobile apps, tools and websites to serve learners and educators across the world. Every year over 1.2m learners use their tools and resources.
His mission is to find practical and meaningful uses for emerging technologies, embracing the power of web, Social Media and Open Source Solutions to help to make learning work better for all – with a particular focus on hard to reach, excluded or disadvantaged learners Together with John Davitt, he developed the recently released Learning Score (www.learningscore.org), a tool to liberate teachers from the constraints of traditional lesson plans. He is also considered one of the Godfathers of Mobile Learning, and has travelled the world encouraging practitioners to embrace mobile tools and opportunities since 2001. He was recently appointed advisor to the US Government on their first largescale mobile learning project which will provide mobile apps to support aid workers and locals in disaster relief situations.
