AI-Powered Learning in Elementary Education w/ Theresa Montenarello

AI-powered learning in elementary education is a new way of teaching that uses computers and smart software to help young students learn. These tools can make lessons fun and interesting by using games, quizzes, and interactive activities. They can also help teachers by giving them useful information about each student's progress. With AI, students can get more personalized attention and learn at their own pace. This technology can make education more effective and enjoyable, helping children build strong foundations for their future learning.
