Hey Caleb, I have found the choices dauting as well ... I encouraged Admin and a few teachers to sign up for the free version of Magicschool individually to test it out, but yeah there are so many choices at the moment, I am having a hard time evaluating tools for recommendation to integrate into our systems in the fall. Plus, this seems like a hot potato in regards to even having "official" choices for AI for staff and students. A lot of organizations are allowing the platforms to pass filtering, but not sanctioning one platform over another. The communities I worry, not to mention some staff, might not be ready in a “classroom best practices” type of way, this also applies to age gating content as well which I do not think these platforms do well right now.
