Tech Enabled Teacher Conference 2024

In this virtual conference, hosted by the Tech Enabled Teacher Community, educators at schools using Flint share their experiences using the platform. Additionally, Sohan, the co-founder and CEO of Flint, provides a live demo of the platform.

Liz is the Director of Learning, Innovation and Design at The Harker School. Harker first partnered with Flint for the 2023-24 school year, and has rolled out the platform school-wide for all students and teachers to access. In her session (embedded above), Liz covers the following key points:

• The Harker School aimed to better differentiate learning for students, individualize their experience, and explore better personal pathways (2:39).

• As part of the school's AI journey, Liz addressed needs such as AI awareness amongst faculty, up-skilling teachers via workshops, selecting an AI platform (Flint), and expanding integration over time (7:43).

• Next, Liz highlights example AI tutors that Harker teachers have created within Flint and used with their students. Here, she covers examples ranging from elementary to high school grade levels (10:54).

Next up was Kevin, Director of Learning Services at Saint Joseph's Preparatory High School. In his session (embedded above), Kevin covers the following key points:

• Kevin sets the stage with a focus on how Flint can be used to facilitate self regulated learning with students. He covers research that shows the effectiveness of retrieval practice for student learning, and highlights analogies used to help students understand the importance of retrieval effort (1:30).

• Next, Kevin shares how AI tutors on Flint have been a great tool to help him provide students with retrieval practice. Kevin explains how Flint enables him to control the helpfulness level of the AI as well (14:25).
