Is AI really safe—or even useful—for our youngest learners? In this episode, veteran educator Vicki Davis unpacks what developmentally appropriate AI use looks like in PreK–2 classrooms. You’ll hear practical ways to integrate technology without sacrificing connection, creativity, or literacy.

In this episode, we'll talk about:

• Whether AI supports or harms early childhood development.
• Creative ways to use AI that don’t rely on screens.
• How to use AI to differentiate reading instruction.
• A powerful mindset shift called “turtling” that makes tech feel less overwhelming.
• Simple ways to teach AI concepts like input, output, and prompts—even in kindergarten.
