iteach is proud to partner with Khan Academy to provide Khanmigo’s highest-level subscription to all iteach participants. We’re proud to be the only educator preparation program with Khanmigo directly integrated into our coursework.
AI is here to stay, and using it responsibly and effectively will allow teachers to save time and improve their craft.
Let’s take a closer look at what Khanmigo can do and how it’s integrated into iteach’s curriculum.
What Is Khanmigo?
Khanmigo is a GPT-powered teaching and learning assistant. Khanmigo can help you with teacher tasks such as creating class newsletters, lesson plans, lesson hooks, activities, exit tickets, and rubrics, to name a few. It can help you differentiate by leveling and chunking text and assist in writing IEPs.
It can help create that fun and engaging learning environment by providing ideas to make the lesson relevant to your learners, suggesting interesting lesson hooks, and even creating a summary poem using student responses to the prompt, “What did we learn today”. All these features can make your teaching craft more creative and efficient, freeing up valuable time to build relationships with students and give you time back for yourself.
Khanmigo’s student mode is a Socratic-style tutor that doesn’t just give the answers like a regular AI chatbot. Instead, it guides students through the critical thinking process to help them discover the answers for themselves.
