<![CDATA[Digital Literacy and Ethics: Navigating Technology in Education]]> https://rss.com/podcasts/digital-literacy-and-ethics-navigating-technology-in-education This podcast critically examines the ethical responsibilities of educators when using digital technologies in the classroom. Drawing on key scholarship in education and technology (Selwyn, 2016; Hobbs, 2017), the episode explores vital issues such as student privacy, data protection, equitable access, and the promotion of responsible digital citizenship.

Special attention is given to real-life practices like the Inspire Learning Programme in Scotland (Scottish Borders Council, 2023), illustrating both the potential of technology for inclusive education and the risks of corporate involvement in student data (Rampal, 2023).

Additionally, the episode highlights how digital literacy is no longer limited to technical skills but requires critical awareness of power relations, ethical use, and the social impact of technology (Knox, 2022).

This podcast is essential listening for educators, policymakers, and students interested in building a balanced, ethical, and inclusive approach to digital learning.

Drawing on key ideas from Selwyn (2016), Hobbs (2017), Rampal (2023), and the Inspire Learning Programme (Scottish Borders Council, 2023), this episode reflects on how digital technologies shape teaching practices and student experiences.

I discuss important topics such as:

  • The potential of technology to support personalised learning (Knox, 2022)
  • Issues of student privacy and data protection in educational settings
  • The importance of digital citizenship and ethical online behaviour (Hobbs, 2017)
  • The challenge of equitable access to technology and resources
  • The educator’s role in fostering critical digital literacy, beyond technical skills

This episode highlights that technology in education must be used not only creatively but also responsibly. Educators are expected to ensure student wellbeing, protect privacy, and promote inclusion when implementing digital tools in their classrooms.
