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 app.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 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,

1:42 Viewing student sessions
2:38 Math example including feedback on student through a camera and AI vision
3:47 World language example with speaking and listening
4:59 Coding example to practice programming concepts

Groups and Classes
Groups and Classes
If you have a class roster in MyDE, you will now find a new feature in Flint K12: class groups automatically set up in your account. This addition is designed to streamline the organization of activities, making them more accessible to students.
Why it matters: The introduction of class groups in Flint K12 simplifies how teachers manage and distribute activities, ensuring every student in a class can easily access and engage with the material. Also, group owners can view statistics and ask Flint questions about how members in the group are performing. More information on group analytics is here.
Yes, but: While the use of class groups is encouraged for its convenience, it remains optional. Teachers may continue to share activities with students by posting a link, as they have done in the past.

Audio recording hangs on iPad
Audio recording hangs on iPad
If a student is unable to record audio, which is often indicated by the recording icon "spinning" forever after taping the mic button, the most common problem is lack of access to Speech Recognition. To check or change that, open the iPad Settings app, go to Privacy and Security, choose Speech Recognition, then make sure that the entry for Safari is enabled/green. (Image of setting enabled.)
