ShiftED Podcast #101 • What Does Technology Actually Change About Learning? Dr. Adam Dubé on AI, Children and the Future of EdTech

As Québec classrooms head back to school, we kick off a new season of ShiftED with Dr.Adam Dubé of McGill’s Technology, Learning & Cognition Lab. We talk about what technology actually changes about learning, how children experience AI, and what years of EdTech research can teach us about today’s AI moment. From educational games and apps to generative AI, Adam challenges us to look beyond the hype—and ask a better question: when does technology actually help someone learn?https://www.mcgill.ca/education/adam-dube
