Johnson City Schools partner with AI learning platform
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (WJHL) — Johnson City Schools announced Friday it has partnered with Curipod, an AI learning platform.
The new tool will help teachers keep students engaged while addressing each student's learning needs, according to Johnson City Schools.
Instead of asking one student to answer a question, Curipod can be used to ask every student the same question. The platform then provides personalized feedback based on lesson parameters and the answers provided.

The school system said Instructional Design Coach Tina Faust suggested the platform to administrators after seeing a demonstration at a conference.
'I knew this was a valuable tool that could be used for all classrooms and with all students. It's rare to find a quality platform that can be used from kindergarten to high school,' Faust said in the release. 'We are excited to be the first Tennessee district to partner with Curipod, and I feel this platform is an education game-changer.'

Trump: Musk will face ‘serious consequences' if he donates to Democrats
President Trump on Saturday said tech billionaire Elon Musk will face 'serious consequences' if he moves to support Democratic political candidates in any upcoming elections, following a public rift between the two in recent days. In a phone interview with NBC News, Trump said Musk 'will have to pay the consequences' if he backs opponents to GOP lawmakers who support the GOP's 'big, beautiful bill.' 'He'll have to pay very serious consequences if he does that,' he told the outlet. The president's remarks comes after he signaled his bromance with Musk is over as a tiff about the GOP megabill spiraled into an all-out brawl on social media. Musk went so far as to allege that Trump is named in the Jeffrey Epstein files, backed a call for impeachment and suggested he would have lost the presidential election without his support. Trump in response threatened to cancel federal government contracts for Musk's companies while calling the Tesla and SpaceX CEO 'crazy.' Prior to the implosion of the duo's relationship, the tech mogul indicated he would roll back his political spending in upcoming elections. 'In terms of political spending, I'm going to do a lot less in the future,' Musk said last month. 'If I see a reason to do political spending in the future, I will do it,' he added. 'I do not currently see a reason.' The billionaire became one of the most powerful forces in U.S. politics after he threw his support behind Trump's reelection bid last summer, spending at least $250 million. He soon became a central figure in the White House as he advised the Department of Government Efficiency and the administration's efforts to reduce the size and scope of the federal government. Musk left the administration late last month as he voiced opposition to the House-crafted GOP spending bill over its potential impact on the national debt. When asked by NBC on Saturday if the president intends to reconcile with Musk, Trump replied in the negative. But he reiterated his confidence in his budget bill despite some GOP concerns in the upper chamber. 'The Republican Party has never been united like this before. It's never been. It's actually more so than it was three days ago,' Trump said, stating Musk's outburst benefited his push to get the bill passed before July 4. 'I think, actually, Elon brought out the strengths of the bill because people that weren't as focused started focusing on it, and they see how good it is,' the president added. 'So in that sense, there was a big favor. But I think Elon, really, I think it's a shame that he's so depressed and so heartbroken.' Some of Musk's social media posts that intensified the feud on Thursday have since been deleted. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Musk jokes he might change his stance on Trump's ‘big, beautiful bill' over Adam Schiff's praise
Elon Musk appeared to jokingly reconsider his stance on the Big Beautiful Bill after a California Democrat came to his defense. Sen. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., wrote on X that 'I can't believe I'm saying this – but [Elon Musk] is right.' However, that seems to be the last point on which the two agree. They both object to the Big Beautiful Bill, viewing it as full of pork. Musk opposes the bill because he believes it raises government spending too much, while Schiff objects to what he calls its 'far-right' content, which he describes as 'dangerous.' Musk fired off a response rejecting Schiff's alleged praise of the tech billionaire's position on the bill. 'Hmm, few things could convince me to reconsider my position more than Adam Schiff agreeing with me!' On May 30, Musk's time with the administration came to an end, and he seemed to leave things on good terms. President Donald Trump thanked Musk for his work with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and gave him a symbolic 'key to the White House' as a parting gift. 4 Elon Musk appeared to jokingly reconsider his stance on Trump's Big Beautiful Bill after a California Democrat came to his defense. via REUTERS 4 'I can't believe I'm saying this – but [Elon Musk] is right,' Schiff wrote on X, leading to Musk responding with 'Hmm, few things could convince me to reconsider my position more than Adam Schiff agreeing with me!' SenAdamSchiff/X Following his departure from the White House, Musk said he was looking forward 'to continuing to be a friend and adviser to the president.' However, things took a sharp turn as a feud between Trump and Musk quickly heated up after the Tesla founder began publicly criticizing the Big Beautiful Bill. After the legislation passed the House, Musk said that the 'massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination. 'Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it.' Musk's criticisms received mixed reactions from Republicans, with some — such as Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, and Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky. — agreeing with him. Meanwhile, House Speaker Mike Johnson said he was 'surprised' by Musk's reaction and claimed the two of them had a good discussion about the bill. 4 Musk originally left the White House on good terms, but later began publicly criticizing the Big Beautiful Bill. Getty Images 4 Musk and Trump have carried their feud to their respective social media platforms, X and Truth Social. realDonaldTrump/TruthSocial Trump and Musk then began slugging it out on their respective social media platforms — X and Truth Social — as well as TV. The president told reporters in the Oval Office that he was 'very disappointed' with Musk and claimed that the former DOGE head knew what was in the bill, something that Musk denied. The heated exchange led to two explosive tweets, both of which were later deleted. In one post, Musk claimed Trump was mentioned in files relating to Jeffrey Epstein, the deceased sex offender and disgraced financier. In his other post, Musk endorsed a message that called for Trump's impeachment and said that Vice President J.D. Vance should take over. While it's unclear whether Trump and Musk will reconcile, for now it seems unlikely. Trump told Fox News chief political anchor Bret Baier that he was not interested in talking to Musk and that 'Elon's totally lost it.'
