About this episode

The episode discusses how to help young learners thrive in a world shaped by AI through digital literacy education.

Today, we're going to be talking about digital literacy, taking a closer look at our updated Cambridge Primary and Lower Secondary Digital Literacy curriculum. Specifically, we'll be asking the question: how do we help young learners thrive in a world shaped by AI without losing their curiosity, agency, or authentic voice? Your host for this episode is Cambridge Education Futures Manager, Laura Kahwati. She is joined by two special guests: Beverly Clarke, author of Cambridge Primary and Lower Secondary Digital Literacy, and Nadja Djordjevic, a Digital Literacy Teacher at Savremena osnovna škola in Belgrade, Serbia.
