Andy McLaughlin | Big Tech is Killing Creativity in Schools (And He Knows Why)

Season 3, Ep. 7

Welcome to the Digitize Fully Charged Podcast, where we energise listeners, spark inspiration, and top-up your tech-game. Today, we are joined by the incredible Andy McLaughlin. Andy is a highly respected Lecturer at the University of Aberdeen whose career path took a fascinating, "squiggly" turn - starting with a decade in complex IT infrastructure and networking before pivoting to become a teacher, a leader on device rollout, and an academic. This background gives him a rare 'full-stack' expertise, perfectly blending high-level digital knowledge with pedagogical theory. Known as a passionate advocate for intentional technology use, Andy became a critical leader during the pandemic, overseeing a massive 46,000-device rollout and helping local authorities mitigate the impact of lockdown.

  • 9. 🎄 Curiosity, Classrooms & AI: A Digitize Fully Charged Christmas Special

    39:10||Season 3, Ep. 9
    Welcome to the Digitize Fully Charged Podcast, where we energise listeners, spark inspiration, and top-up your tech-game.This episode is a Christmas Special, and it’s a little different.Instead of a guest, I opened the floor to questions from educators, parents, and curious humans — and some of them go right to the heart of learning, creativity, AI, and what’s really happening in our classrooms.We talk honestly (and sometimes rebelliously) about:-where curiosity has gone in education — and why-the pressure of exams and constant assessment versus interdisciplinary learning that actually sparks interest and connection-how AI and automation can give teachers time and headspace back-why curiosity lives in tangents, side quests, and “what if?” moments-what parents need to understand about children using AI, both consciously and subconsciously-advice for early career teachers-and a few reflective, festive questions to round out the yearThere’s humour, warmth, bold opinions, and a strong belief that learning works best when we leave space for curiosity, creativity, and being human.Got a question for us?
