πŸ‘‹ Hi, I'm Randall LaPoint, Jr.

Bridging Education and Technology

by crafting innovative, AI-powered solutions that transform learning experiences.


🎯 Mission Statement

My journey in education is driven by an authentic, student-first philosophy and a passion for being a creative builder, leveraging the latest technologies to design engaging, effective, and scalable learning experiences and support systems that empower every student and educator.

I believe in being 'real' with students and colleagues, fostering genuine connections, and ensuring they feel seen, supported, and capableβ€”often through the innovative tools and platforms I develop to enhance instruction and streamline educational workflows.

πŸš€ Vision for Educational Technology

My vision for educational technology is clear: we must proactively embrace the rapid advancements in technology, including AI, rather than ignore them.

Our students are already navigating this landscape, and it's our responsibility to equip themβ€”and their educatorsβ€”with the skills and tools to use these powerful advancements responsibly and effectively.

This approach:

  • βœ… Prepares students to thrive in future employment opportunities
  • βœ… Closes educational gaps through personalized support
  • βœ… Enables intelligent resource management
  • βœ… Fuels my drive to build AI-powered instructional feedback systems and virtual assistants
