In this episode of EdUP EdTech, hosts Holly Owens and Nadia Johnson interview Brian Lamb, Co-CEO and Founder of Swivel. Lamb shares his journey from engineering and design school to the tech space, and how he and his co-founder accidentally discovered a need in the education sector. Swivel started as a consumer product company, but after receiving consistent orders from school addresses, they decided to focus on creating EdTech solutions. Swivel's main product is a device that turns a phone or an iPad into an automated camera person, allowing teachers to record their classes without the need for a camera operator. This has opened up new potential for video in education. Lamb also discusses the launch of their new product, the Mirror, a ruggedized system that uses AI to facilitate automated reflections and produce insights for teachers. He believes the future of EdTech lies in helping education adapt to the changing needs of students and society, particularly in strengthening metacognition and higher order thinking.
