Teaching goals

Teaching goals

Learning relevant vocabulary is key to grasping new science concepts, but it can be challenging to engage students.

With Flint, teachers can take relatively mundane content (e.g. a vocab list from Quizlet and/or an educational YouTube video) and turn it into an educational game powered by AI.

First, we can provide Flint with a learning objective as well as materials to pull from:

Flint then suggests three different methods for teaching this content, which the teacher can choose from.

Three tutor type examples: natural selection scenarios, natural selection case study, and evolution classroom chat.

From here, the teacher can use the “revise” feature to turn this activity into a turn-by-turn game to further improve student engagement.

Student experience

Student experience

In their interactions with the AI, students get taken through a turn-by-turn game where they have to apply vocabulary and concepts related to natural selection in order to progress.

Examples student session where student is quizzed and explaining why the colors of beetles matter in natural selection.

Once the student has completed the game, they receive a summary of their strengths and areas of improvement. Additionally, the AI will suggest a follow-up learning objective, based on how the student did. By clicking “Create follow-up tutor”, students can continue learning about the topic.
