Raina Prompt Practice

Raina Prompt Practice

Write a prompt for a task that you would like Raina, the AI instructional coach, to help you with using the MagicSchool AI prompting guidelines. Guidelines:

• Assign Raina a specific role (e.g. English teacher).
• Ask Raina to complete a specific task (e.g. adapt a lesson for students with learning disabilities).
• Include important details Raina needs to make your output match your needs.

CHALLENGE! If you are already a MagicSchool expert, create a Custom Chatbot.

We will engineer prompts in Raina and explore MagicSchool tools. I will utilize MagicSchool tools to revise my lesson or slide deck presentation for next week.

Best Practices for Using AI in your Instruction

• Check for Bias and Accuracy: AI might occasionally produce biased or incorrect content. Always double-check before sharing with students.
• The 80-20 Approach: Use AI for initial work, but make sure to add your final touch, review for bias and accuracy, and contextualize appropriately for the last 20%.
• Your Judgement Matters: See AI-generated content as a starting point, not a final solution. Always adhere to CCISD guidelines (TBD).
• Know the Limits: Our AI's knowledge stops on its last training date, so recent topics may not be up to date.
• Protect Privacy: While MS promptly removes any accidentally submitted information, it’s best to not include names or addresses.
