Digital Literacy, Ethics, and My Role as an Educator

This podcast explores digital literacy as more than technological competence, reframing it as an ethical and professional responsibility within education. Drawing on critical discussions of privacy, safeguarding, digital citizenship, equity, and artificial intelligence, it examines how technological advancement reshapes the role of educators. The episode considers the risks of data misuse, online harm, misinformation, and widening inequality, while also recognising the transformative potential of digital tools. Ultimately, it argues that digital literacy requires critical awareness of power, responsibility, and human impact. For educators, technology must enhance learning without compromising wellbeing, integrity, or democratic values in an increasingly digitised world.
