Best practices when using MagicSchool.ai responsibly

  • Check for Bias and Accuracy: AI might occasionally produce biased or incorrect content. Always double-check before sharing with students or families.
  • The 80-20 Approach: Use AI for the initial 80% of the work, but make sure to add your final touch, review for bias and accuracy, and contextualize appropriately for the last 20%.
  • Your Judgment Matters: Treat AI-generated content as a starting point, not a final solution. Always adhere to your school's guidelines and your professional judgement.
  • Know the Limits: The AI's knowledge only covers events up to 2021, so be aware of limits when dealing with more recent topics.
  • Protect Privacy: Don't include personal student details like names or addresses.
