Welcome to Oundle Voices, a podcast exploring the ideas shaping education and young people’s lives today.
In each episode we look beyond headlines and examination results to consider the fuller purpose of education: how we help young people become resilient, curious, ambitious and open minded, how they find belonging, and how we prepare them for a future we cannot yet fully see.
In this episode, we speak to Dr Adam Baragwanath, Deputy Head Academic at Oundle, about what he describes as the ‘tech tightrope’: how schools and parents can embrace the opportunities technology brings while protecting the habits and experiences that support deeper learning.
From AI and mobile phones to screen time, reading, writing and attention, technology is now part of everyday life for young people. The question is not simply whether they should use it, but how they learn to use it well.
