Flint K12 for teachers

Flint K12 is like a school version of ChatGPT developed for use by students and teachers in K12 schools with some differences (detailed at this link).  D-E started 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 activity configured to your specific purpose by inputting learning objectives.  As the teacher, able to see a transcript of your students' chat sessions in order to get a better understanding of your students' progress.

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.

Flint has been going through a rapid process of almost monthly improvement for most of the past year. If you tried it a few months ago and something was not to your liking, you might want to take a look at what's changed since then by visiting Flint's What's new page,
