How it Works

Teach Assist is an app that uses machine learning and algorithms to suggest the most accustomed ideas so you can work smarter and not harder. Teach Assist works by collecting and analyzing data in order to learn teacher and learner preferences. It learns you and your class by recognizing the strengths and stretches. It uses the software "Alphonso" that quietly listens to you through your microphone on your mobile device to provide the best possible solutions for your classroom needs, administration tasks, and more. As 5G rolls out, machine learning will become faster, along with downloading, searching, and connection speeds to make Teach Assist the most efficient as possible. 

 

For example, you are teaching a fractions unit and you have a student who is struggling to understand the concept. As you have your mobile device on you at all times it would be instantly searching for alternative learning such as manipulatives, videos, worksheets, and a notification would pop up on your screen with the recommended solutions. You then would like or dislike it and machine learning would generate your preferences. As it learns you and your class, the recommendations become more and more relevant. It learns your own unique style and would recommend different suggestions as it grows and learns you.

 

Moreover, you are chatting with a colleague about a Science unit on mixtures and solutions and you are brainstorming what experiment to do, Teach Assist would also be searching and provide you with suggestions by alerting you with a notification on your mobile screen with it's three top suggestions. Bam, planning done for you. Further, it would add shopping list materials to your note pad and set a reminder for you to pick them up prior to the lesson. Never forget materials again!

 

Imagine focusing on teaching the lesson and easily reaching all learning in your classroom based on the recommendations by Teach Assist!

Teach more, plan less!

As you watch this video you recognize all the ways we already use AI in our lives; music, movies, healthcare, shopping, farming, and so much more. Teach Assist is a great example for students to learn about how AI works as it will be so prevalent in their futures. Perhaps it'll spark that idea the student needs to be the next inventor.

Teach Assist works by: 

  • Using “Alphonso” software microphone 

  • Dropping cookies to the program Teach Assist 

  • Machine learning and AI

  • Creating a database with attributes about you, your class, and teaching style and learning styles in your class

  • Knowing your location and tracking the curriculum, core competencies of the area you are in 

  • Accepting a privacy policy prior to using
