Larry Berger
CEO and Co-Founder

Larry Berger is CEO and co-founder of Wireless Generation, an education company that has pioneered the adaptation of emerging technologies to improve PreK-12 teaching and learning. Mr. Berger led the invention of Wireless Generation’s mCLASS system, which enables educators to administer early reading and math formative assessments using handheld computers and then immediately receive results, analysis, and support for differentiated instruction. Today, Wireless Generation serves more than 2 million children and hosts one of the largest databases of longitudinal student data in the country.

Under Mr. Berger’s leadership, Wireless Generation is continuing to break new ground through the sensitive and innovative application of technology in the classroom. New projects include FreeReading.net, the first open source curriculum to be accepted through an official state adoption; large-scale data systems that capture multiple points of information relevant to a student’s academic growth; and knowledge management systems that help educators find solutions to challenges that have been solved in other schools.

Prior to launching Wireless Generation, Mr. Berger was President of InterDimensions, a Web solutions company. He also served as the Educational Technology Specialist at The Children's Aid Society, where he led the development of "Technology Playgrounds,” community computer labs in disadvantaged neighborhoods that are models of using technology to empower young people. Mr. Berger was a Rhodes Scholar, and a White House Fellow working on educational technology at NASA.
