In our digital age, artificial intelligence is no longer the future, it is a reality in schools. Over 50% of students already use AI tools like ChatGPT for their homework. Instead of resisting this technological wave, teachers can see it as an opportunity to transform traditional teaching methods into dynamic, interactive learning experiences.
