Welcome to PebblePad

“In 2004, we embarked on a remarkable journey with a vision to transform education. While the education technology landscape of the time was primarily focused on content delivery, I carried two distinct passions within me: a commitment to putting the learner’s experience at the forefront and an unwavering desire to empower individual educators. These passions served as the driving force behind the creation of PebblePad, our innovative Learning Journey Platform. We set out to develop a learning platform that helped educators help their learners to plan for, make sense of, and make connections between their diverse learning experiences. Today, as more and more institutions align with our vision for student success, I am incredibly proud of the platform and the culture we’ve created.”
