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.
Best,
Greg
https://www.magicschool.ai/magicstudent.Seems promising from Magic School, but also overwhelming choices. I'm just looking into it now. Anyone using it? The general idea of teacher created temporary links for students to use AI seems like a good idea who's time is overdue, especially with transcripts, like Schoolai.com.Here's the info concerning middle school age concerns.What is the age limit for using MagicSchool for Students? How can your platform allow younger students if ChatGPT's policy is 13 years or older?
Students: We do not restrict ages for usage for the student platform (as assigned and monitored by an educator from their dashboard).
While ChatGPT's policy for students 13 or older, this policy does not apply to the APIs that we employ in our platform. The API from OpenAI does not restrict the age of the end-users for applications developed using the API like MagicSchool.
In our case, we've designed the app to be suitable for students under 13, in compliance with relevant laws like COPPA, ensuring the content is appropriate and children's privacy is protected. So, while direct use of ChatGPT is for those 13 or older, our app responsibly extends the benefits of this technology to younger students, adhering to legal and safety standards. However, the decision on the appropriate age to use our platform rests with the local school or district’s policies and users should follow those - we defer to your policies for usage and MagicSchool for Students is always monitored from a responsible adult on the teacher dashboard who can see all interactions.
Educators: Educators must be 18 years or older to use the educator portion of the platform and to launch Student Rooms.--Caleb ClarkTech support and training, Windham Southeast Supervisory Union802-451-3532“The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place." - G.
