In this episode, we sit down with Andrew Bieronski, Growth Lead for Canada at Wayground (formerly Quizizz), to explore how this innovative EdTech platform is revolutionizing K-12 education through AI-powered tools that truly serve both educators and learners. As a former secondary teacher turned EdTech advocate, Andrew shares insights into Wayground's recent rebranding, their groundbreaking accommodations tool that automatically personalizes learning for every student, and why having educators at the heart of product development makes all the difference. We dive deep into the platform's impressive free-for-schools offering, discuss the critical importance of data privacy in educational technology, and discover how Wayground's UDL approach is helping teachers reduce their workload while still delivering personalized experiences for students across 40+ languages. Whether you're new to AI in education or looking for tools that genuinely understand classroom realities, this conversation reveals why Waterloo Catholic District School Board chose Wayground as their an approved generative AI solution and how it's setting a new standard for inclusive, teacher-friendly EdTech.
