User-friendly, accessible, and interactive, AI Tutors are oriented toward users who are on the move and want to review and study whenever they have time. In the school year that just ended, my students told me that they used study tools on mobile devices as they rode the bus home after school when they had breaks at work, and in their various classes when they had some time not occupied by tasks. Education is often on the move.Â

With the ongoing discussions surrounding the use of smartphones in schools, and the potential that provinces will move towards limiting phone usage during the school day, it is worth remembering that screen usage should be done with intention and planning. This may be best done outside the classroom, and mobility is therefore a massive asset for teens who are busy and on the move.
