Teaching is guiding, facilitating and helping others reach their full potential; it's understanding and differentiating. Objectives frequently change depending on the needs of the students. Helping a student self-regulate their current state of emotion is a need in the moment. Learning happens in a variety of ways, but when one is able to push past their mental block(s) they encounter an "AHA!" moment. They are able to make connections, understand and reapply the skills on their own in their own way. AI integration into educational platforms can help walk students problem solve when a teacher is not able to, however it cannot detect the emotions one is currently feeling from being frustrated with the program. When technology fails, teaching does not stop. The objective just changes.
