How can MagicSchool’s AI Help Teachers?

Best Practices for Using AI

1. ​

• Check for Bias and Accuracy: AI might occasionally produce biased or incorrect content. Always double-check before sharing with students.�
• The 80-20 Approach: Use AI for initial work, but make sure to add your final touch, review for bias and accuracy, and contextualize appropriately for the last 20%.�
• Your Judgement Matters: See AI-generated content as a starting point, not a final solution. Always adhere to your school's guidelines.�
• Know the Limits: Our AI's knowledge stops on its last training date, so recent topics may not be up to date. �
• Protect Privacy: Don't include personal student details like names or addresses. We promptly remove any accidentally submitted information.

AI Prompting 101

​

• Prompting is a skill that needs to be honed- and ultimately, is a little counterintuitive to the way we have used the internet previously.

​

​

​

Searching

Prompting

Effective searches are short, concise and cast a wide net.

Effective prompts describe clearly and specifically what you want the LLM to produce

AI Prompting 101

Add important details to make sure that your generation matches the output you are looking for.

Define the role you want the AI to assume.

​

Guidelines

Define the task you want the AI to complete.

Begin your prompt with, “You are a master 7th grade science teacher”.

Create a 5E lesson plan for the introductory lesson to mitosis.

This lesson should focus on learning the name of the phases of mitosis as well as the order in which the phases occur.
