​Dr. Reshan Richards is an educator, researcher, and app designer. His 13+ years of experience in schools as math teacher and technology integrator intersected with his research on screencasting and formative assessment to inspire the creation of Explain Everything. The creation of the app connects to one of his life's goals of uncovering how emerging technologies can be used to capture and mediate discourse that data-driven approaches are not capable of measuring.

Reshan collaborated with Steven J. Valentine to write Leading Online: Leading the Learning, Leading by Learning. It is a multi-touch book about organizational leadership and schools that attempts to model the very practices it shares.

In K-12 education, Reshan was most recently the Director of Educational Technology at an independent PK-12 school in NJ. In higher education, he continues to teach at Teachers College, Columbia University. He is the founder of Constructivist Toolkit, LLC, an Apple Distinguished Educator and a member of Mensa. Reshan has his Ed.D. from Teachers College Columbia University, his Ed.M from Harvard University in Learning and Teaching, and his B.A. in Music from Columbia.
