Flint K12 for teachers

Flint K12 is like a school version of ChatGPT developed for use by students and teachers in K12 schools.  D-E starting piloting the service in January 2024 for use by teachers of any grade level and their students in any division. Access to service has been extended for the entire 2024/25 school year. Flint allows a teacher or a coach to create a chat bot configured to your specific purpose by inputting learning objectives. 

D-E teachers and students can sign in to Flint using your d-e.org Google account at de.flintk12.com

Two of the things that Flint can facilitate are:

• Provide a chat on a specific topic focused on learning objectives.  Options are available to use only sources specified by the teacher, chatting in a target language besides English, using the camera on a mobile device to get feedback on written math work, and generating images including graphs as part of a response.

• Automatically provide writing advice to a student based on your teacher-created rubric with a transcript of the chat available to you as the teacher.

Note: On March 1, a new version of Flint was released. Nothing a teacher had previously set up should need to be changed. However, the new interface for teachers is a bit different. If you last used Flint before March 1, you may wish to see this Flint announcement page for a summary and brief video of the changes.

Access and Sign In

There is no free version of Flint. However, any teacher or student with a d-e.org Google account can access the paid service until June 2025.  To access the service use the Sign In with Google option.

(Prior to March 1, 2024, teachers needed to request access for themselves and students, but that is no longer necessary as long as you sign in using your school Google account.)
