In this thought-provoking episode, Yasmin London is joined by edtech veteran Julian Ridden for a lively unpacking of one of education’s most controversial tactics: Tech bans.
From mobile phones to social media and AI tools, this episode explores why bans are often used as a reflex response, and why they’re rarely enough on their own.
Julian challenges black-and-white thinking, encourages vulnerable leadership, and outlines practical, community-first strategies that go far beyond “block it and forget it.” Whether you’re pro-ban, anti-ban, or stuck on the fence, this episode gives you the language, perspective, and tools to lead better conversations.
