Videoconferencing, esports and screen casting from digital whiteboards are all common parts of the modern K–12 curriculum. However, when educators at Clovis Municipal School District in New Mexico and McAllen Independent School District in Texas attempted to harness these technologies for learning, their aging Wi-Fi 5 networks presented a problem.

Done right, this sort of collaboration between AI and teacher results in a better outcome for everyone.
