Artificial intelligence (AI) has dramatically changed the classroom atmosphere in many schools. “Wow! This is amazing!” This is just one of the reactions from young students as their teacher demonstrates how AI features of Microsoft Immersive Reader, a Microsoft AI tool, helps them focus and read with greater ease and confidence. As a result, classroom energy remains high. Students are now more engaged and enthusiastic.Behind the scenes, teachers are also undergoing a transformation of their own. With AI-powered tools supporting different learning needs, they have discovered ways to spend less time on routine tasks, and more time to focus on what matters most: the growth and progress of each student.
This transformation is already happening at Wattana Wittaya Academy, Thailand’s first and oldest boarding school for girls. Here, technology does more than add value. It has become an integral part of the entire learning experience; an essential tool that elevates learning capability to better prepare students for the demanding challenges of the real world.
Recognising the growing importance of AI in education, the school has joined the Microsoft Showcase School programme under Microsoft Elevate for Educators. Through this initiative, educators and school leaders gain access to a wider global community, where ongoing professional development and availability of practical resources empower them to confidently integrate AI into effective teaching and learning experiences.
