How AiDigiCards Help Kids Learn AI Safely ft. Amber Ivey | My EdTech Life Ep.343

How AiDigiCards Help Kids Learn AI Safely ft. Amber Ivey | My EdTech Life 343  In Episode 343 of My EdTech Life, I sit down with Amber Ivey to explore AiDigiCards, a new screen-free way to introduce kids to AI literacy, curiosity, and critical thinking. Amber breaks down the journey from her AI-for-adults work, to her children’s book AI Meets AI, to her new hands-on learning system for kids ages 4–8. We talk about parent concerns, privacy, LLM overreliance, ethical design, and why AI learning should start at the kitchen table, not on a tablet. If you"re an educator, parent, or anyone thinking about the future of AI readiness for kids, this conversation is packed with insight and practical takeaways.
