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

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 year

There’s humour, warmth, bold opinions, and a strong belief that learning works best when we leave space for curiosity, creativity, and being human.
