The use of artificial intelligence in education has sparked polarizing opinions and an ongoing debate between those who champion the use of this technology and those who are afraid of it being misused.
However, there are a lot of benefits of AI in education. When applied properly, artificial intelligence does not replace critical thinking; it’s a powerful tool that can enhance ideas and push students to think deeper and apply their knowledge to real-wolrld scenarios.
AI systems are being used to close the gap between different levels of learners. There are tools to help students write (hi, that’s us!), do math, work on reading comprehension, and learn languages.
Everyone deserves personalized education, and AI is helping us get there.

A participial phrase is a group of words containing a participle. It serves as an adjective to modify a noun.
When you add words around the participle to form a phrase, you’ve got a participial phrase. Participial phrases can be formed using both past participles (e.g., “forgotten”) and present participles (e.g., “wondering”).
Examples: Participial phrasesShe ate her dinner, surprised it turned out so well.
Folding the laundry, Paul found a stain on his shirt.
Swimming in the ocean, my niece got bitten by a fish.
When a participial phrase comes at the beginning of a sentence, it is called an introductory participial phrase because it introduces the main clause.

AFK is an abbreviation for “away from keys” or “away from keyboard.”
Sometimes you need a quick and easy way to let someone know you have to go. When you type “AFK” or “afk,” it lets the person or people you’re talking to know that you’re away from your phone or computer for some length of time and probably won’t answer right away.
