The debate around AI in education continues on Westerly News. Let’s not forget how tools like the proposed “Personal Teaching Assistant” (PTA) could provide unique advantages for students.
Key Benefits
- 24/7 Support: The PTA could offer help whenever students need it, even outside school hours.
- Tailored Learning: The PTA could adapt its approach to meet individual learning styles.
- Fostering Independence: The PTA could guide students to solve problems on their own, building confidence and resilience.
Teacher Partnership: AI is a tool, not a replacement. PTAs can support teachers, freeing them to focus on deeper connections and mentorship.
