From smart tutoring systems to adaptive simulations, AI is no longer the future; it’s part of our present. And just like that first sip of strong coffee, its impact is bold, energizing, and full of potential. In this edition, we’ll explore how educators can blend AI into teaching in a way that’s meaningful, inclusive, and transformative.
