Favorite Tools:

Some of my favorite tools include the YouTube Video Questions, Colleague Song Generator, Rubric Generator, and Professional Email.

• YouTube Video Questions: Oh this is a great one! Adding assessment questions to videos. This marks step one. I anticipate a future where the questions seamlessly integrate into platforms like EdPuzzle with the simple press of a button. All you need to input are the grade level, number of questions, question types, and the video URL.
• Colleague Song Generator: Write a custom song about any topic to the tune of the song of your choice! You input some words about a person and the song into the generator, and it generates the text to the song with the appropriate syllables – just like that! A lot of fun with students and staff.
• Rubric Generator: Generated rubrics can be a chore but it is so easy with this generator. By giving the generator the grade level, standard/objective, assignment title, description, and point scale.
• Professional Email: Keeping emotion out of an email can be difficult when you are passionate about a topic. I find that I need to make emails a bit nicer or friendlier. At times, I need to ensure that emails, which could be perceived as negative, are as clear and emotionless as possible. Tone is so difficult to convey in text. The AI helps me do that.
• Choice Board (UDL): I am a big fan of choice boards. It allows students to show their learning in a way that makes sense for them. This tools creates a choice board for a student assignment based on the principles of Universal Design. All you need are the Learning Goal, Standard, Objective, or Topic and grade level.

Chatbot: Raina

Despite the overall impressive features of MagicSchool AI, I have observed a slight limitation in its chatbot functionality when compared to the proficiency of ChatGPT. Nevertheless, this does not pose a significant concern, as MagicSchool AI excels in other areas, and when in need of a chatbot, I prefer opting for ChatGPT. It is worth noting that several AIs harness the capabilities of ChatGPT, making it a logical choice to go straight to the primary source.

Creator

During the ISTE23 event, I had the delightful opportunity to engage with the creator of MagicSchool AI, and what struck me most was the revelation that one of the masterminds behind this innovative platform was a former educator and school administrator.This personal connection with the education field resonated with me on a profound level, instilling confidence in the company’s understanding of the intricate needs and nuances of educators. I saw a lot of AI tools but Magic School AI is the one I continue to use.
