Andy McLaughlin | Big Tech is Killing Creativity in Schools (And He Knows Why)
Description
Welcome to the Digitize Fully Charged Podcast, where we energise listeners, spark inspiration, and top-up your tech-game. Today, we are joined by the incredible Andy McLaughlin. Andy is a highly respected Lecturer at the University of Aberdeen whose career path took a fascinating, "squiggly" turn - starting with a decade in complex IT infrastructure and networking before pivoting to become a teacher, a leader on device rollout, and an academic. This background gives him a rare 'full-stack' expertise, perfectly blending high-level digital knowledge with pedagogical theory. Known as a passionate advocate for intentional technology use, Andy became a critical leader during the pandemic, overseeing a massive 46,000-device rollout and helping local authorities mitigate the impact of lockdown.
