Episode Summary:

Join host Josh Ochs on the SmartSocial.com Podcast as he talks with Dr. Tara Nattrass, Chief Innovation Strategist, Education at Lenovo, about AI, screen time, student learning, and why judgment matters as technology becomes more deeply integrated into education. Dr. Nattrass explains why schools and families need to focus on the purpose and value of technology, not just how much time students spend on screens.

The conversation also covers the differences between adaptive, generative, and agentic AI, what students are saying about their hopes and fears around AI, and why parents need to talk openly with kids about how they are using these tools. Dr. Nattrass also shares how schools can think beyond simply providing devices by focusing on purpose, clarity, professional learning, and opportunities for students to use AI to solve real problems while keeping human relationships at the center.
