Jodie also discusses how GPT Vision artificial intelligence can analyze child interactions, connect them to curriculum  or framework standards like the Australian EYLF, offer support for special needs children, and contribute to more personalized learning plans making planning and preparation not just easier and less frustrating, but also more meaningful.

Throughout the episode, Jodie walks listeners through various step-by-step examples to demonstrate the Ai Assistants practicality.
