Often our students have questions, even after classes. Flexi, an AI tutor, is offered by CK-12 to assist students with any questions they may have 24/7 anywhere, on any device. Flexi uses AI but it also has a large selection of courses in Math and Science to answer questions. Answers can include links to background information (lesson from CK-12) on the question asked. Students can ask questions in other topic areas from AI.
In this activity, have the class explore a variety of questions and write a reflection on how they see themselves using Flexi.
