Students in the Levittown School District have been utilizing artificial intelligence in creative ways to advance their education. At the Feb. 4 board of education meeting, they presented to trustees the many ways they have learned to adapt to using this vital tool.

The district has begun implementation of MagicSchool A.I. into classroom lessons, giving students a leg-up in a quickly evolving field. MagicSchool A.I. is an education-designed platform that empowers teachers to personalize learning, streamline instruction and support every student in a safe and responsible way. It has already yielded a high level of success after being introduced to teachers and staff this year, with nearly 33,000 A.I. generations - a single piece of content the platform creates - by teachers, and more than 120,000 by students. Regarding instruction, the platform poses many possibilities, including creating lesson plans, rubrics and assessments, adjusting texts and materials to meet students' instructional needs and creating relevant, engaging and personalized classroom content.

During the meeting, students Nathan d'Auteuil and William Amato led an engaging news segment-style presentation that featured teachers and fellow students. They explained how MagicSchool A.I. has become an essential part of the classroom, such as students having direct conversations with CEOs and other real-life figures as the A.I. chat box takes on the role.

"Every student who walks into my classroom is unique," Abbey Lane Elementary School special education teacher Taylor Mastromonica said. "MagicSchool is a key part of my classroom because it helps me personalize instruction more effectively."

"Using MagicSchool as a tool not only helps me think deeply but also analyze and organize my ideas more precisely," General Douglas MacArthur High School student Ava Girardi said. "I'm not just memorizing facts, but I'm able to ask better questions to my peers and teachers in my classrooms."
