We’re back, and the kids are back in school, so we are packing your lunchbox with some food for thought on tech in schools. We’re weighing up screen-free childhoods, debunking the myth of ‘digital natives’, doling out advice on image-sharing, and considering the benefits of teaching kids piracy. (Well, it worked for us!)
*** Good things we recommend ***
>> Check in with your own device usage (and maybe pick up a copy of Unlocked by Pete Etchells instead of reaching for the phone)
>> Watch the trailer for You Can See Everything (Nathan Fielder’s new documentary about Elizabeth Holmes)
>> Take heed of Webwise’s image guidance for schools https://www.webwise.ie/news/image-guidance-for-schools/
>> Listen back to our episode with early childhood education expert Paula Walshe
>> In memory of Derek Cassidy, revisit our recent subsea cables episode with researcher Jane Ruffino
