12 Days of Techmas
AI Edition - Day 11
SchoolAI.com
On the eleventh day of Techmas, I am sharing one of my favorite AI tools to use with students. You can create Spaces where your students can interact with the AI tool to learn about a topic, test their knowledge or even interact with the subject!

What is SchoolAI?
School AI is a personalised learning platform that is designed to create engaging and effective learning environments. There are tools similar to other tools, but what sets SchoolAI apart from other tools for me is the ability to create Spaces.
Spaces are personalized learning environments that you create and students interact with. This of Spaces as an extension of yourself as a teacher. You could create a personalized tutor on a topic, create a space where students can interview a historical figure, a space where students practice refining research questions, and soooooo much more!

SchoolAI - Tools
SchoolAI has a variety of tools to assist teachers with creating and completing tasks. These tools are easy to use and it will keep a list of the items you have created at the bottom of this screen.
SchoolAI - Spaces
Spaces are my favorite part of SchoolAI! I love being able to make custom spaces to fit the needs of my students, explore a topic or act as a tutor.
Click on Spaces - You will have 3 options. Discover, Create and Sessions.
Discover - you can search thousands of activities created by teachers
Create - you can create custom spaces
Sessions - you can view and manage the spaces you have started
This is an example of the Exit Ticket Space - you can customize the Exit Ticket by describing the lesson or topic. Then explain what learning objectives you want the Exit Ticket to cover. You can include multiples. When you are ready you will click Launch and share the link with students.
SchoolAI - Assistants
AI Assistants have multiple Chatbots that you can use to complete tasks, ask questions and more!
Want to give one of the
AI Chatbots a try?
Check Out the AI in Education Coach! This will help you brainstorm and talk through what integrating AI into the classroom can look like and allow you to ask questions about your concerns.
How do we use this with Students???
This is the million dollar question! Yes! You can use SchoolAI with your students. It does not require them to create accounts nor require them to login. When you launch a space you will get a link or QR code you can share with students.
