Chatbots for the WIN!
We’re excited to be in Albany, NY, for the NYSAFLT Annual Conference to explore the power of Chatbots!
Chatbots are revolutionizing education by providing personalized language learning experiences for all of our learners! Several AI-powered tools offer 24/7 support, tailored content, and immediate feedback, making language learning more accessible and engaging for students. By understanding individual needs and preferences, chatbots can offer diverse learning paths, accommodating various learning styles and paces. Remember, chatbots can serve different purposes, from tutoring and answering questions to providing district-level support. During this session, we’ll learn how to set up a chatbot to best meet your specific needs and empower your language learners through personalized learning experiences.
