In this thought-provoking episode, host Mandee Hamann sits down with Andrew Liddell, a career federal courts litigator, technology attorney, and passionate advocate for youth digital civil rights. Together, they dive into educational technology (EdTech) and explore why it may not be as beneficial for children and learning as many believe.

Andy shares his insights on the hidden dangers of EdTech, including issues related to data privacy, screen overuse in schools, and the commercialization of childhood education. Drawing from his extensive legal background and advocacy work, he discusses how Big Tech companies have prioritized profit over student well-being and why parents and educators should be concerned about the growing presence of digital learning tools in classrooms.

If you're a parent, educator, or policymaker questioning the role of technology in schools, this episode is a must-listen. Tune in for a critical conversation that challenges the status quo and empowers families to rethink how kids learn in the digital age.
