Top Tech Tools for Equity and Accessibility

Cool Cat Teacher

And all of a sudden I'm taking Algebra 2, I'm taking Calculus. And what I love about it is that he uses artificial intelligence to read my PowerPoint deck, to understand the content, and to put it in context when I speak. He gave me a math test that I can just do it in my own language. And it's real time.
