How Ethical is the Digital Classroom?
Episode notes
This episode explores our ethical responsibilities in relation to using technology in the classroom, including issues related to privacy, child safeguarding, digital citizenship, and equitable access to resources. I discuss issues arising from historic and contemporary technological and scientific advancement. Crucially, I consider the implications that digitalising education has for us, as educators, and for our learners.
