Watch Out For:
- Educators:
- Check for Bias and Accuracy: AI might occasionally produce biased or incorrect content. Always double-check before sharing with students
- The 80-20 Approach: use AI for initial work, but make sure to add your final touch, review for bias and accuracy, and contextualize appropriately for the last 20%
- Your Judgment Matters: see AI-generated content as a starting point, not a final solution. Always adhere to your school’s guidelines
- Know the Limits: the AI is not connected with retrieval from the internet yet and training ends at a certain date, so be aware when dealing with recent topics
- Protect Privacy: don’t include personal student details like names or addresses
- Students:
- Your Teacher Can See Your Activity in Magic School: make sure to follow your school and classroom guidelines when interacting with the AI
- Math Answers Not Reliable: large language models can help with step-by-step processes but can not calculate math solutions accurately. Do not rely on AI for math solutions
- Interacting with An AI Takes Practices: be clear and specific about what you need, so the AI can give you a better answer. Try again if the first try is not what you hope for
- AI is a Tool-Not a Replacement for your Thinking: see AI-generated content as something that can help assist you, but not the final solution
- Monitor for Bias and Accuracy: AI might occasionally produce biased or incorrect content. Always double-check important information
- Protect Privacy: do not include personal details like names or addresses
