No one knows their students better than teachers. In 2025, educators strengthened that connection in meaningful ways: Every lesson plan, every report card, and every piece of feedback helped create lasting impact for learners.
Last year also saw increased AI adoption in classrooms across the country. But teachers weren’t using AI for the sake of it. They turned to digital tools to simplify workflows, cut down on prep time, and stay focused on supporting students.
“Embedding AI into students’ lives now is so important because it’s going to be a natural part of their jobs as adults,” says Johnnie L., a teacher at Aurora Public Schools. “MagicSchool has made it possible for me to balance my time better, helping each student more effectively while feeling less overwhelmed.”
Together, our MagicSchool community built a year defined by routines, confidence, and classroom momentum. Here’s a look at what shaped 2025, plus a few ideas to help classrooms head into 2026 with clarity, confidence, and renewed energy.

How students built skills and confidence with AI
Students approached MagicSchool with curiosity and openness in 2025. Guided by their teachers, learners used AI to revise work more confidently, participate in structured practice, and develop foundational AI literacy skills. These weren’t one-off moments—they became learning routines students returned to.
We have 50+ student tools designed for guided classroom use and AI literacy. Here are our most-loved student tools, along with timely and fun ways to use them this year.

How customization helped learning stick
Two specific features defined 2025: Custom Chatbots and Student Rooms. Their growth highlights how teachers and students leaned into more personalized, guided ways of learning.
Chatbots: These interactive tools improved instruction and feedback with a smoother, more student-centered flow. Teachers used them to personalize learning without starting from scratch, while students used them for study support and creative exploration.
Student Rooms: MagicStudent was used by millions of students in 2025, with Student Rooms growing more than 300 percent year over year. What stood out most was how students chose to use them. They gravitated toward tools that helped them explore ideas, revise writing, and build confidence.
After using the writing coach to get feedback, one student shared, “I feel like a professional writer now. It sounds so good!”
How teachers can use Chatbots in 2026
- Games: Try a “yes or no” vocabulary game to uplevel student writing
- Tutors: Build a custom AI tutor for a historical moment or holiday like Martin Luther King, Jr. Day
- Resources: Upload documents (e.g. PDFs, Google Docs, website links) related to specific class material
How teachers can use Student Rooms in 2026
- New Year, New Classroom: Open a “fresh start”-themed room with prompts about new year learning goals
- Lunar New Year: Try a “Year of the Fire Horse”-focused room to explore the Chinese zodiac ahead of February 17, 2026
- Use templates to create a series of rooms for Digital Citizenship or Choose Your Own Adventure activities
