AI Literacy for Students

Instead of banning generative AI for students, we believe that teaching and practicing responsible usage is the only way forward. As demonstrated by the usage of AI tools like MagicSchool for educators, ChatGPT, Google Bard, and others in the professional world - AI is already becoming a part of the workplace. In the future, the ability to use AI will be as important as sending an email, searching on the internet, or using a computer. As educators, it’s our responsibility to prepare our students for the age of AI they are poised to enter.

We provide the building blocks to get started and as educators and students become more advanced we give you space for that exploration and depth of AI skills.

MagicStudent from MagicSchool focuses on AI Litearcy

MagicSchool + MagicStudent

From the start, we believed that once teachers began to integrate AI into their workflows and recognizing the utility of it as a tool (not a replacement) - they would begin to demand the same opportunity for their students. Educators have asked us to build a platform for students - MagicStudent is that platform.

The MagicSchool for Students platform (MagicStudent) is designed for building AI literacy for students. You can expect that if you’re a teacher using MagicSchool’s AI tools for educators, MagicSchool for Students will be familiar when you bring it to students.

We also understand that schools and districts are in different stages of AI adoption - and some will love MagicSchool’s tools for teachers but not be interested in bringing AI to their students yet. Both platforms operate independently to give districts options to adopt AI at a pace that is comfortable for them.

AI Literacy Resources

In addition to resources to support the knowledge and use of MagicSchool, we have significant resources available for partners need to help increase AI Literacy within their district - with educators, staff, parents and students. In addition to the main MagicSchool platform, we have MagicSchool for Students (MagicSchool) as a safe, educator supervised area for students to practice AI skills.
