Partho on Devices, AI & Children | Intel x iPrep | PadhAI Ka Future

Описание: As access to devices, internet, and AI-powered tools becomes almost default in children’s lives, a critical question confronts parents, teachers, and the EdTech ecosystem alike: How do we enable learning without turning devices into sources of distraction or risk?

In this discussion of PadhAI Ka Future initiative, by ‪@Intel‬ , we explore the evolving role of parents, teachers, and technology in shaping safe, meaningful, and future-ready learning environments.

🎙️ In Conversation With: Partho
An educator, researcher, trainer, and author with over decade of experience in school education, Partho has worked extensively with teachers, principals, and leadership teams across some of India’s leading schools and school chains. Having witnessed the entire journey from the early introduction of devices in classrooms to the rise of the internet and now AI—he brings rare historical depth and pedagogical clarity to this conversation.

What this podcast unpack
How technology has transformed learning from a linear process to a spiralling, multi-dimensional experience
Why devices expand not just access to information, but levels, dimensions, and challenges of learning
The promise of adaptive learning, where learners are no longer limited by grade or curriculum boundaries
The real risks of unrestricted and unmonitored digital access, amplified by AI
Why control and rigid restrictions often fail with children
The idea of “enlightened supervision”—guidance through dialogue rather than walls
How safety itself can become a learning process, not a fear-driven rulebook
What the edtech ecosystem must rethink about device management, guardrails, and sensitivity by design

A powerful insight from the podcast
Children learn by pushing boundaries.
The question is not how to stop them—but how to guide them safely while they explore.

This podcast challenges the notion that learning devices must be tightly locked down to be safe, and instead invites educators and technologists to design systems that are protective yet expansive, secure yet curiosity-friendly.

Who should listen
Parents navigating device use at home
Teachers and school leaders integrating technology into classrooms
EdTech and LMS designers
Policymakers and CSR teams working on digital education
Anyone thinking deeply about AI, safety, and learning

PadhAI Ka Future is a national campaign by Intel, focused on reimagining digital devices as safe, purposeful learning companions - not just hardware. This conversation is a step toward that future.
