🟣 In This Episode...

Many educators feel that technology has no place in nature play, and for good reason. We want to protect the authentic, hands-on experiences that are central to early learning. However, this episode reframes the conversation, explaining how AI can be a useful ally for the educator behind the scenes. Find out how to use AI as a creative assistant and consultant to help develop a clear outdoor play philosophy that’s grounded in the ‘3rd Teacher’ approach, audit existing spaces for hidden potential, and brainstorm budget-friendly ideas for engaging playscapes using natural and upcycled loose parts.

Jodie also walks you through personalising specific prompts that will make it easier to create risk-benefit analyses that give you the confidence to facilitate challenging, adventurous play, and for brainstorming local seasonal observation guides that connect children to their specific environment.
