  NYC Just Changed the Rules on AI in Schools — Here's What It Actually Means

  Sep 25, 202613 minS1

  New York City just announced a sweeping AI and screen time policy affecting nearly 600,000 public school students — and digital literacy educator Schnelle Acevedo breaks it all down. In this episode of Smart With Screens, Schnelle walks through what the policy actually says, what she genuinely supports, the honest questions she's still sitting with, and why restricting AI tools without teaching kids how AI works leaves a critical gap. She also shares what her AI literacy for educators program does to fill exactly that gap — through games, real conversations, and age-appropriate critical thinking skills that build the habits kids need for the world they're actually walking into.

In this episode, NYC digital literacy educator Schnelle Acevedo breaks down what a digital footprint actually is, the real statistics on how employers and colleges are using your online presence to make decisions about your future, the easy pitfalls that trip most people up, and five specific things you can do right now to clean up and intentionally build your online image. Because deleted doesn't mean gone. And the story your digital footprint tells should be one you wrote on purpose. 📚 Digital literacy programs and curricula available for schools nationwide. 👉 Book a workshop: bamdigitalmedia.info/book-workshop
