You have heard about A.I. but don't really know what to do with it in your lesson.
You have played around with ChatGTP but have not been able to really implement it in your lesson.

David Marsh
Am I, a CLIL teacher, going to be replaced by A.I.?
In early 2023, initial reactions towards Generative AI in education were reactive, sometimes hostile. By mid-year talk about language learning became proactive, with particular focus on AI-enabled learning of language structures and speech, and how its use could provide greater space for CLIL’s development as a ‘signature pedagogy’.

Sjuup Rekko
Using AI to assist with math!
Various AI models have been combined to create a new digital assistant: MathGPT and GraphGPT. This always cheerful and upbeat assistant supports with math and with drawing graphs without typing any formula. Instead of just providing answers or solutions, he asks questions based on the student's mostly written input. In this playful manner, not only can the student call for help 24/7, but they are also assisted in gaining a better understanding of their own challenges.
About Sjuup Rekko
As an entrepreneur, researcher, inventor, and educator, Sjuup is constantly searching for ways to better assist students with their challenges in mathematics, physics, and statistics. It's not just about the rational aspect; the emotional aspect also plays a significant role. His latest innovation in this field is MathGPT and GraphGPT.
