2026 AI Educator Summer Institute

The AI landscape in education is moving fast, and not all tools are created equal. This session gives educators a clear-eyed look at where legislation and policy stand today, how those decisions ripple down to the classroom level, and what to watch for as districts navigate responsible AI adoption. We'll unpack what makes MagicSchool distinctly different from general-purpose chatbots and consumer AI tools, and explore how purpose-built AI supports meaningful, intentional screen time for students and educators alike.


By the end of this session, participants will be able to:

1. Summarize the current state of AI-related legislation and policy and its implications for classroom practice
2. Distinguish between general-purpose chatbots and purpose-built AI tools designed specifically for education
3. Evaluate AI tools through the lens of purposeful screen time and student safety
4. Articulate why MagicSchool was built for educators and how that distinction shapes responsible adoption in their district
