This comprehensive professional development course introduces educators to MagicSchool AI, an innovative platform designed to enhance teaching and learning through safe, responsible, and effective use of artificial intelligence. Participants will begin with a foundational understanding of AI and large language models (LLMs), including how MagicSchool leverages cutting-edge techniques like Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) to provide education-specific outputs.

 

Teachers will explore the full functionality of the MagicSchool platform, including how to write effective prompts, create and save custom tools, and generate instructional images tailored to classroom needs. Emphasis will be placed on data privacy, student safety, and best practices for ethical AI integration. Educators will also learn how to assign tools to student rooms, view student work, and use AI to support differentiated instruction and student creativity.
