Are We Preparing Students for an AI World? with Lindy Hockenbary

The Play Ed3 Podcast

December 29, 2025

Virtual

I recently joined the Play Ed3 Podcast for a thoughtful conversation about how we are preparing students for life in an AI-driven world. I talked with hosts Rick and Tisha about why digital literacy matters more than ever, what meaningful screen time can look like in classrooms, and how educators can support students in developing the skills they need to navigate technology with intention. If you are interested in playful learning, equity, and future-ready education, this episode offers practical insights and big-picture thinking.
