Good morning. This is Melanie Asmar with Chalkbeat Colorado.
“A key finding that we weren’t even meaning to test is that having access to this AI tutor isn’t the same as using it.” That was the lead author of a study that compared two groups of students: those who were assigned to work independently with an AI literacy tutor and those who had a specially trained person to help them work with the AI tutor. As National Editor Erica Meltzer reports, the results were unexpected.
A heads-up: Chalkbeat will be closed tomorrow for Juneteenth, so you won't see us in your inbox as usual. We'll be back Monday! Feel free to reach out in the meantime: [email protected].
