Magic School AI
Your personal AI assistant for all things teaching.
Created by Scott Aten, December 4, 2023
It seems like AI has become one of the fastest growing technologies in recent memory. While we block AI content for students, as staff members you do have access to AI tools. MagicSchool is an AI platform designed to assist classroom teachers develop content to use with students. MagicSchool has over 50 tools that are designed to help teachers perform different tasks. For example: lesson planning, differentiation, communication with parents, rubric design, and many more.
Give MagicSchool a try by visiting magicschool.ai/. The best way to experience it is to just experiment with it. By providing your content area, grade level you teach, and some specific topic information, the AI generator will provide you some suggestions. For example I ran the "Real Wold Connections Tool" to help me get some examples for a 6th grade math lesson. I provided this information to the tool...
So by simply providing the tool with my grade level and in this case a specific content suggestion from 6th grade math, I was provided these suggestions...
You can then easily click the copy button and paste the content into a Google Doc to be used or edited.
Next I tried the "Song Generator" with some grade 2 Social Studies content on maps and Cardinal Directions. I provided the topic, a few key details I wanted in the song and then an artist and song title...
There are a lot of tools to use including:
- Social Emotional Learning lesson planning
- Multiple Choice Assessment Generator
- Report Card Comment Generator
- Lesson Plan Generator
- YouTube Video Question Generator
- Student Work Feedback Tool
- Informational Text Generator
- Math Story Problem Generator
- Text Leveler Tool
- Text Translator
- Depth of Knowledge (DOK) Questions Generator
- Sentense Starter Generator
- Choice Board Generator based on UDL
- Social Stories Generator
- Vocabluary List - Topic Based
- Coach's Sports Practice Generator
And these are just a few examples and they are constantly adding more. Right now this is all free to use. With anything AI, it is always good to fact check and make personal changes to the content. AI is very smart but it is not 100% foolproof. Nothing can take the place of a good teacher.
I will leave you with this...Why did the teacher want Christmas break to come?
Because she was tired of all the "elf"-abetizing!
Yes, this was generated by the Teacher Joke Generator set to 7th grade level. So if you are looking for some time savers, this tool may be a nice addition to your lesson desgin process.
If you would like me to come and help you please feel free to schedule me to come and assist you. I am always ready to come help.
