Some AI tools come with guardrails that make them safe and appropriate for students. AI in education can increase access for students with disabilities, others can enhance productivity in the classroom. We explore 2 tools below: Grammerly and MagicSchool.AI

Grammarly is an AI-driven writing assistant designed to support students throughout the writing process—from brainstorming and drafting to polishing and citation. It provides real-time grammar, spelling, and clarity feedback, helping learners catch errors and refine their writing. Its generative AI prompts assist students with topic ideas, outlines, paraphrasing, and tone adjustments. It also includes a citation generator. Grammarly even features integrity safeguards: tools to detect AI-generated text and plagiarism. This promotes responsible use and transparency in academic work.

MagicSchool.ai is a robust suite of student‑facing tools designed to foster AI literacy, creative learning, and personalized support. It allows students interact with a responsible AI chatbot (“Raina”) that encourages inquiry, supports homework questions, and facilitates creative projects like choose‑your‑own‑adventures and virtual field trips. Students can receive tailored feedback through the writing feedback tool, which helps them improve grammar, clarity, and structure. MagicSchool also supports diverse learners by scaffolding assignments, leveling texts to appropriate grade levels, and enabling multilingual content. Classroom teachers are able to “launch a room” to share selected tools, monitor engagement, and ensure students explore AI in a safe, moderated space.
