Listen "From WiFi to Why: Teaching with Tech Responsibly"
Episode Synopsis
Let’s talk tech in the classroom—but not just the cool apps and gadgets. In this episode, I dive into the real stuff: the ethics, responsibilities, and tough questions around using digital tools with students. From protecting privacy to making sure everyone gets a fair shot, I reflect on how learning about digital tech has changed the way I see digital literacy—and what that means for me as a teacher, and for the young people I teach.References ISTE (2023) Infographic: I'm a Digital Citizen.
