Using the Latest GPT-4o AI Model in the Classroom

On 13th May, OpenAI released GPT-4o (“o” stands for omni) which brings exciting opportunities for teachers, offering new ways to improve teaching methods and better support students in learning languages.

This new model will be available free of charge in ChatGPT soon and likely replace the current free GPT-3.5 model, offering a massive upgrade for free users. 

Here are some key benefits that this advanced AI model can provide.

• Personalised Learning Opportunities
  GPT-4o's advanced capabilities make it possible to create even more tailored homework or group work for your students. For example, teachers can use this AI to develop customised lesson plans and give targeted feedback by copying the student responses in ChatGPT. This personalised approach helps identify and address each student's unique strengths and weaknesses, making the learning experience more effective and inclusive.
  
  
• Real-Time Assistance
  With the new voice and vision features of GPT-4o, it can provide real-time responses and even detect emotions. This makes it particularly helpful in language learning for students who find traditional learning methods challenging. This creates a more engaging and supportive environment, helping students stay motivated and focused on their homework. The ability to respond instantly and adapt to students' emotional cues makes learning more dynamic and interactive.
  
  
• Better Group Work
  GPT-4o's ability to integrate voice, text, and vision also opens up exciting possibilities for collaborative learning. Teachers can use this technology to facilitate group projects, virtual discussions, and interactive activities that promote teamwork and critical thinking all while learning a language. By combining these multimodal capabilities, GPT-4o encourages students to work together more effectively, improving their communication and problem-solving skills. 

More Engaging Teaching Methods
GPT-4o is a game-changer for language learning, offering tools that can truly transform the teaching experience. This AI model helps teachers create a more engaging, supportive, and effective learning environment for their students by providing personalised learning, real-time assistance, and enhanced collaboration.
