One AI Tutor Per Child: Personalized learning is finally here

I think there was a comment on this site yesterday where someone was talking about how we shouldn’t let people who don’t know how these “ai” tools work deploy said tools to evaluate mortgage applicants or manage defense systems, and that the technically minded should act as a buffer for those who rtfm. And here we are.

Are there any real gains in giving kids ipads in classrooms? Did anyone have an actual plan in how such a tool could help kids or is it just “tech good?”

Sample size 1, but I've got a kid. I've got an ipad. I put the two together in with supervision, and what I've got now is a 4 year old that reads the walls in the bathroom stall while she's pooping.

I don't know if this is "better" or what you had in mind as "gains", but it's certainly entertaining for me!

My daughter could do the same at that age, and basically never got screen time. I don't think screen time has anything to do with it, it's just dependent on the child, parental involvement, and how much you read in the house.

Its great that you are able to supervise your own two kids while they engage in screentime, I’m talking about in school, where in a lot of cases, a teacher is trying to supervise 20+ kids. Its great if there are laptops for students who maybe cant afford a computer and wordprocessor software at home, but textbooks and lectures seem to work effectively.
