Round Rock Independent School District provides students with chromebooks, every chromebook is mandatory to use at school and are well equipped with extensive firewalls. Due to the new state wide school phone ban, students’ only technological access during school hours is through their chromebooks. AI gets a bad rap, but if used responsibly it can make students’ lives easier and help them thrive and grow in an academic environment.

With AI students have an extensive, specific, and tailored study guide at their fingertips. Platforms like ChatGPT, Mindgrasp and StudyFetch give students a way to request specific study guides based on their subject and can even be specified by unit and can create a more personalized learning experience than other resources required by the school. By having these reviews so easily accessible it also makes studying less stressful by saving the time of finding a relevant study guide that’s fit for you. 

Not only can you get study guides but one can also get personalized feedback aimed to improve students skills. Multiple platforms powered by AI offer a feature where students can submit things like lab reports or essays and then instantly receive constructive feedback on what they can change to improve their papers. These personalized feedback are not only beneficial for their feedback but also saves teachers and students time by giving an instant response with valid feedback that will save teachers the work.

AI offers all of these awesome features that grow students’ success and the best part is that students can access these extremely fast and for free. Not all students can drop money on a study guide or sometimes even have the time to find one if they need assistance on a topic and because of AI they now have free and fast help on demand without taking time out of their teachers day. Overall AI is a really helpful tool that the district could and should use to their advantage.
