Back to school!

Back to school!10 Sept42 min

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
