EP 39 | Can Reggio Emilia Principles and AI Coexist?

In This Episode…Can AI and Reggio Emilia actually coexist? In this episode, Jodie explores what Loris Malaguzzi's most important principles … the hundred languages of children, pedagogical listening, and documentation as making learning visible, actually mean for how we use AI in early childhood settings today.
