Barry+Adams

Barry has worked for Apple since 1987 in a variety of positions but always within the company’s education division. After serving as a field sales executive he quickly moved into a newly created position as an Education Technology Consultant. This industry-first position afforded Barry an opportunity to use his extensive training in education with education policy makers throughout the nation. After holding this post for a number of years, he was again promoted to another industry-first job, Director of Strategic Alliances working under the tutelage of Dr. David Dwyer, Apple’s noted education researcher and author of the ACOT program (Apple Classrooms of Tomorrow) Barry’s stimulating presentations and workshops have been chosen by state conferences, national and international organizations as models for understanding the changing nature of education. Dr. Adams holds academic titles through the doctorate in Psychology, Counseling and Educational Administration. He was a member of several university and college faculties in Iowa, North Carolina, and Georgia. He culminated his academic growth as a Dean at two colleges where he authored two books on future trends in education. After leaving education in the early eighties, he formed a small company in the Research Triangle Park of North Carolina to build and distribute interactive laser discs for business and industry clients. He lives in Roxboro NC with his wife of thirty years (also an Apple employee) and is now “empty-nested” with two college-graduated children. || ||
