#331: From Screen Time to Green Time: Can AI Reconnect Children with Nature?
Q: What sparked the shift from purely outdoor activities to using technology to support nature connection?
The work at Rockpool and the Dubai-based programs showed that technology can engage many more people by gamifying learning, enabling data collection, and providing platforms like iNaturalist and Seek to document biodiversity, which actually enhances engagement rather than replacing nature.
#331: From Screen Time to Green Time: Can AI Reconnect Children with Nature?
Q: Tell me a little bit about NatureWave.

Q: Hello, and could you tell our international listeners a little about who you are and your background?

#322: Safeguarding in the Age of AI: Who's Responsible?
Q: How can schools address the challenges of AI literacy and safeguarding effectively?
She recommends scenario-based CPD, training for governors and staff, and a three-pillar framework (capability, conscience, courage) to equip students with skills, ethics, and resilience.
#322: Safeguarding in the Age of AI: Who's Responsible?
Q: What is your main focus within EdTech and safeguarding?
Laura Knight explains she weaves pedagogical soundness with well-being and safeguarding, aiming to support leaders and practitioners with holistic, custom strategies rather than one-size-fits-all digital solutions.
