Artificial intelligence is a powerful tool for teaching and learning. One of the most beneficial uses is for supporting students.
It has been said that with AI it is like every learner can now have their own 24-hour personal tutor.
I recently recorded a 47-minute training video for an updated version of my session "Super Tutor: AI to Support all Learners".
In this session we explore ways AI can assist educators as they are helping students, as well as ways for students to use AI directly to get individualized support. Tools explored include MagicSchool AI, Khanmigo, Brisk Teaching, Diffit, SchoolAI, AI chatbots, and many more.
See below for the recorded video and session resources. And be sure to share your suggestions for AI tools and uses. I am excited to learn with you!
