THIS WEEK IN DIGITAL LEARNING

Introducing SchoolAI Assistants

SchoolAI

SchoolAI is a comprehensive AI tool designed specifically for education. It has a TON of features - too many to cover in one post. Over the next few weeks, I am going to be diving into all of the different teacher and student uses of SchoolAI.


This week, the focus is on Assistants:

SchoolAI assistants

As you can see, there are 9 different chatbots designed to support you in specific ways. There is even one called "Digital Literacy Coach", so I guess I've already been replaced by a robot. The cool thing about these chatbots compared to the ones I've mentioned before (Gemini, Copilot, Byte) is that they are really geared specifically towards education. I asked the "AI in Education Coach" to come up with example prompts that high school teachers could ask an AI chatbot. I asked it to give 5 examples for each of our departments. Here's what I got:

Oh, and as a side note...I originally had that list in no particular order. I copied it and pasted it into Gemini and asked it to alphabetize it by header. Way easier than me having to move things around myself or leaving it out or order and harder to follow!
