Using AI in ELT: Character Chatbot

Hey everyone! I recently delved into the world of AI for language learning and teaching, specifically using Magic School AI's tools, and I've got to say, it was quite the journey. Join me as I share my experience along the way.

Imagine this: I'm having a chat with Orpheus, you know, the legendary musician from ancient Greece, but in AI form using Magic School AI's Character Chatbot. We're talking music, love, and the power of art – it was like having a virtual history lesson with a touch of magic.

Then comes the fun part – writing up the interview report. I summarized our chat and then I sent it off to Magic School AI's Writing Feedback Tool and got some advice. After a few tweaks, I had a revised report that even impressed myself.

Now, onto the reflection part. Let me tell you, Magic School AI's tools are trusty (if you know how to use them). They help you out when you need it and push you to be better. They helped me dive deeper into topics, improve my writing skills, and think about how I could use similar tools in my own teaching practice.

So, how could I use tools like Magic School AI's in my teaching? Well, imagine having AI powered chatbots in class. They'd be like conversation partners for students to make learning interactive. And then there's the feedback tool, it could could help us while grading papers by giving students quick and helpful feedback on their writing.

Thinking about the good and bad sides of using AI in language learning, there's a lot of potential for making learning personal and boosting how we teach. But we've got to watch out for things like privacy concerns and making sure the AI doesn't have biases. We've also got to remember our responsibility to be in charge to make sure everything's fair and square.

In conclusion, my journey with Magic School AI's tools has opened my eyes to the endless possibilities in language learning and teaching. With a little help from our AI friends, we can create personalized learning experiences, sharpen our skills, and maybe even revolutionize education along the way.

So here's my adventure with AI in language learning and teaching using Magic School AI's tools. It's been rewarding, and it's got me thinking about the future of education under a new light.
