Despite Sydney Green’s proficiency with AI prompting, she often finds extracting specific tasks from advanced models like ChatGPT or Gemini to be time-consuming and sometimes unproductive. To address this, she turned to Magic School AI, a platform offering over 80 AI-powered tools designed to assist educators with lesson planning, assignment creation, and material generation. It’s user-friendly, click-based interface allows users to interact without the need for specialized prompts. Originally designed for K-12 education, it now includes components tailored for higher education.
For instance, instead of having students independently navigate dense research articles, Sydney uses the “Text Leveler” feature to create concise summaries for guided class exercises. This preparatory work equips students to engage more effectively with the full articles on their own.
Additionally, Sydney has found the “Make It Relevant” tool beneficial for designing activities that connect class material to students’ personal experiences, enhancing engagement. She also uses the “YouTube Video Question Generator” to create quiz questions based on shared class videos, ensuring students comprehend the content thoroughly.
If, like Sydney, you want to leverage the power of AI, but don’t have the time to train an advanced model, consider exploring Magic School AI to streamline your teaching tasks. If we have enough interest, maybe we can talk Sydney into a demo session!
