A majority of teachers are not using artificial intelligence tools in their classrooms, according to an October EdWeek Research Center survey, with lack of knowledge and support as the top reasons teachers say they aren’t yet using the technology.

AI is becoming a more prominent part of the toolbox that ÌÇÐ͝Âþvlog and students are using and is influencing what the future will look like.
