Taking Next Steps with MagicSchool (March 3, 2025)
MagicSchool Student Rooms & Student Tools
MagicSchool for Students offers a wealth of opportunities for students. These AI tools are created & tailored with students in mind. While some appear to be similar to the "teacher side tools" in MagicSchool, if you look at the student tools you will quickly realize that they are actually an entirely new set of tools created with unique prompts and purposes that support the needs of students. Here are some of the cool tools you can curate, customize and offer to your students. Just remember, students don't have access to any of them unless you give them access through a "Student Room." So let's take a look at the student tools Magic School has to offer:

Create a Student Room
Students gain access to MagicSchool AI tools based on what you, their teacher wants them to see & use. You do this by making student rooms.
- Teachers create student-friendly digital "rooms" equipped with one or more custom tools.
- Students only have access to the tools you give them.
- Students craft their work using the tools you choose.
- Teachers can see who has joined the room, their activity level, all iterations of their work, and whether content has been flagged.
