In this 5-minute episode, Fredericka Gage a special education teacher, explores the ethical challenges and responsibilities that come with using technology in the classroom. From student privacy and safeguarding, to digital citizenship and equitable access, this episode reflects on how digital literacy is about much more than just knowing how to use a device—it's about understanding the impact of technology on learners, learning environments, and society.
