Won't students just use AI to cheat? No! There are many ways that students can use AI to support their studying and learning at GFW High School. From AI-powered learning assistance to note taking tools and exam prep, AI can be used to support good study habits and encourage growth in writing and critical thinking skills.
How can GFW teachers use AI to improve their teaching? AI tools help teachers to develop lessons based on individual student needs, generate lesson plans and learning activities, and to encourage debate and discussion in the classroom.
GFW High School has begun utilizing the power of Artificial Intelligence to provide students with individual learning assistants, immediate feedback on their work, assist them with their writing, and guide them through challenging content.
