After a shift to online learning during COVID-19, EdTech – everything from digital whiteboards and eBooks to Google Classroom and virtual reality equipment – is an industry that's gone from strength to strength in terms of size, scope and profitability.But as the UK is beginning to see a narrative form around the virtues of a ‘screen free' childhood and, further abroad, countries like Sweden move back to more ‘traditional' methods of teaching, many parents are left questioning the current use of EdTech and its effect on their children.To help understand how we should approach the growing presence of EdTech, as well as what ‘good' EdTech might look like, Vicki is joined by Natalia Kucirkova, Professor of Early Childhood and Development at the University of Stavanger, Norway, and Director of the International Centre for EdTech Impact.Talking points:Could possible harms warrant us taking the ‘precautionary principle' when it comes to EdTech in schools?How exactly does ‘transparency', ‘accountability', and ‘fairness' play into principles of ‘ethical' EdTech?Is independent research and evaluation really enough to keep Big Tech accountable?Tech Shock is a Parent Zone production.

In a very impressive move to win 'most dedicated podcast guest', today we welcome Dr Rachel Shanks from the University of Aberdeen to our studio in person! For obvious reasons, our original request to Rachel involved a down-the-line interview, but we were very happy indeed to be able to instead welcome her to Cardiff after an epic train journey from Scotland.Rachel has had a major impact on school uniform policy in Scotland following her work with students to analyse the policies of a huge number of schools in the country, and today she joins us to discuss this often under-appreciated aspect of school life. As we found, the more you dig in to what seems like a relatively simple topic, the more interesting cans of worms get opened, and regular listeners to the podcast will know that's just the way we like it!The discussion ranges across Rachel's around such knotty issues as affordability, sustainability, comfort, and why schools feel the need to have uniforms in the first place.

The debate centers on whether uniforms are an unnecessary financial burden or a valuable tool for promoting equality among students.Some callers believe that school uniforms are outdated and too expensive, arguing that allowing kids to wear their own clothes would ease the financial strain on families and give students the freedom to express themselves.

They argue that while uniforms can be costly, the benefits of maintaining equality and discipline in schools outweigh the expenses.Niall wraps up by weighing the pros and cons of school uniforms and considering whether it's time for schools to adopt a more flexible approach.
