Podcasts about school uniforms

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.

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.
