MagicSchool for Students

 MagicSchool has quickly become my favorite time saver.  I love their tools for teachers and their chatbot, Raina.  I thought I couldn't love MagicSchool anymore than I do.  I was wrong.  Magic School now includes tools for students.  Teachers create rooms, select the tools to make available, and invite students to join the room.  A few of the available tools include: writing feedback, research assistant, tutor me with AI, language learning tutor, image generator, and character chatbot.  Teachers can pause the room, lock the room, and view all student/AI interactions.  Students learn how to use AI responsibly in a safe environment and teachers can feel good about it.  Want to learn more?  Check out this video.

Leaving? Take Your Google Files with You

Did you know that you can take files created with and stored in your school district Google account with you if you are leaving?  You can!  It is possible to create an archive, download files individually, or even transfer files to a personal Google account.  It is NOT possible to transfer files from one school district Google account to another school district account.  Planning ahead is required and we recommend a different process for staff members and students.  See the directions below!
