AI in Education

 

  1. Lesson plan generator, This tool is made to help teachers create a draft lesson plan, it does the bulk of the work and all the teacher needs to do is look over it and review it. The generator creates a full outline of everything that needs to be done for the lesson, it gives you homework ideas, standards, and more. This tool is very easy for me to use and it didn’t take a lot of time for me to understand the tool and what it does. The impact of this tool could save teachers a lot of time in the long run and give them more time to teach their students. 

  2. Informational text generator, This tool is made to generate new text about an informational situation that students can use as a prompt to do work on. This tool is very effective for writing informational text. I used it to write about basketball in the early 2000s and it was written in great detail with names of athletes from that time and what it was like. It was very easy to navigate and all the information was on the page in front of me. This tool could be very useful in having students work on their summarizing skills and writing papers based on an informational text. 


  1. Professional email generator, This tool is made to create an email for professional settings. This tool is very easy to use and is very effective, all I put in was a few things I needed in the email and it wrote the rest for me. This could be used for a teacher to easily send an email to administrators without taking the time to make sure it sounds perfect. 








Here is an example of what a Professional email would look like on Magic School AI.



I find all these tools very helpful for me as a teacher and as a student but the one that I feel could be most beneficial for me as a teacher would be the lesson plan generator. It is a time saver and could help me get ideas for lesson plans. 


These tools align with my educational goals and ethical standing because, at the end of the day, I am still checking over all the work and tweaking it to fit my class and their needs.


The biggest challenge I have found is when the information that is produced sounds too inorganic and doesn’t fit the language that my class is used to. 




I think magic school is a great tool for teachers to speed up some of the small things that would take a lot of time away from instruction. This is a tool that I would recommend to all new teachers if they are finding themselves buried in work.

My Experience with Technology

 My experience with technology is limited but not non-existent. I have used several different tools throughout my schooling in regards to technology. I have used things like Kahoot, Google Slides, Keynote, and other things in that realm. I would like to broaden my spectrum with other tools that allow me to do different things that otherwise I wouldn't be able to do in my classroom. I think the blog is going to be a very effective tool for me to have and bounce ideas off with other teachers and show what has worked and hasn't worked for me in the classroom.

Talk to Strangers

 I joined a Facebook group called middle school teachers . This group was an open-to-join group where teachers posted things they found useful in the classroom and also questions they had that needed answering. I saw several different websites that could be useful for me as a middle school teacher and also templates for all different kinds of lessons in school.  I have learned about an assignment that a teacher used called slice of life where students draw and illustrate things they consider something that makes them up as a person and makes them who they are. I also learned that this is a safe space to ask questions, one anonymous account asked if hoods are really that disrespectful and if they are really just for comfort. Others in the comments felt it was just a good way to hide headphones and it is a respectful thing. So I found several questions from teachers to be answered by other teachers. One thing I found interesting was the amount of people posting side hustles and ...
