Flint is a great resource for students to engage in AI-related activities (reflections, chats, reading comprehension, brainstorming, etc.)

Flint is also a great resource for YOU to leverage AI in creating materials to use with students in your class.

  • Flint chats help you with your own tasks as a teacher, like creating materials and writing feedback.

  • Flint activities are interactive, AI-powered experiences you can design for your students, like problem-solving, language practice, and debates with AI.
