Firefly moulding the student, teacher, parent triangle

Londoner Joe Mathewson co-founded Firefly in 1999 to create a link between students, teachers and parents. The current iteration of this software enables teachers to set assignments, students to complete them and parents to monitor their kids' progress.

Mathewson introduced Firefly to Australian schools – it costs $22 a student – at last year's EduTECH and he's back in Brisbane this year to further cement its place in the market. He spoke with Education Review about the technology, its provenance and its providence.
