Using Magic School

Use the 60+ Tools.

There's a search bar to help you pick the "right" tool since there are so many to choose from.
Edit directly in the AI generated content, create a copy of the finished product when you're happy with it, or tweak it more by clicking "Edit Prompt."
Click "See the Exemplar" if you want to see an example of how a tool is used to create a high-quality product. (top of the content generator)

Give the System as much SPECIFIC and quality information as you can.

Your intial AI product will be only as good as the material and content you provide it. The input conent is what is called a "Prompt."
The information you give the generative AI is of the utmost importance because unlike the human experience, AI does not have previous experience to draw upon. That is why giving a strong prompt is so essential to a good final product.
Most tools will ask for many or all of the following:

Intended Grade Level
Topic, Standard or Objective
Desired Criteria
Quantity/ Length of Text, Time or Output

Evaluate the content with a critical eye.

Never consider the task done just because AI has produced a suggested product.
Sometimes you may need to give additional information to get closer to your desired outcome. That is easily possible using "Edit Prompt" on the top right of the AI-generated information.
There are more resources below to help to better understand and create AI prompts.

Avoid using specific and personal student data like full names and addresses.
