Magic School AI

If you haven't heard yet, everyone has premium access to Magic School AI. If you are a teacher with a rostered class, you can log in via ClassLink. Everyone else can use the "Sign in with Google" button and log in with your @huttoisd.net email address and password. Anyone can use Magic School AI, not just teachers. The Raina tool can be used like a general AI chatbot. 

Here are quick 15-20 min. level 1 and 2 certification training modules to help you get started. 

Be on the look out for more training opportunities during the summer and at at our Back to School conference! 

Summer Skill Practice

Students will retain access to most skill practice applications through ClassLink during the summer. This means they can continue to engage with educational tools and resources they’re familiar with, supporting continued learning and skill development even when school is out. This includes Amira, Zearn, and IXL. Parents will also receive more details about our Never Stop Learning progam soon.

Seesaw classes will be accessible during the summer through the end of June.
