For years I had a vision for this page but quickly learned that I had the most significant impact working alongside teachers in my districts and locally. Time taken updating here could be used to find new tools and develop models of how they could be integrated into the curriculum.
But…then, Artificial Intelligence became easily accessible, and I quickly jumped in with two feet and started deep diving. There are an enormous amount of ways that an AI chatbot could be used to support teachers in their curriculum and instruction. I want to share this with everyone and anyone that will listen. AI can support teachers in a way nothing else has before.
By using AI, educators will get time back in their day and then be able to customize their instruction for their community and the individual students they teach.
