Nicolas Robitaille
K-5 STEM Teacher
I am quite excited to be exploring chatbots for the opportunity forecast assignment, especially in the context of education. The potential benefits they offer to both teachers and students are truly intriguing. Chatbots have the ability to revolutionize education by providing personalized learning experiences, answering questions, and freeing up teachers' time for more impactful interactions. I am excited to delve into the possibilities and uncover how chatbots can enhance the educational landscape.

K-12 Music Teacher
As a teacher in rural Saskatchewan, I find that the challenges of the classroom are often different than urban areas. While we may not have the massive class sizes of the city, our classrooms are often just as complex. On top of that, we rarely teach the same lesson twice. Six periods in a day means six unique lessons. The power of generative chatbots may fundamentally change some of these challenges, and I'm excited to explore the possibilities of Chatbots with you!
