Tech in the Classroom – Progress or Pitfall?

In this episode, we explore the evolving role of technology in education—from its industrial revolution roots to the AI-driven classrooms of today. We examine ethical concerns such as student privacy, digital citizenship, and the risk of deepening inequalities. Drawing on voices like Sir Ken Robinson and current global case studies, including Apple's tech integration in Scottish Borders schools and China's AI classrooms, we question whether our pursuit of digital efficiency is undermining creativity and human connection. With academic insight and critical reflection, this podcast challenges listeners to consider: are we using technology to enhance education—or to control it?
