Levittown students embrace new learning tools

Levittown students and teachers are embracing artificial intelligence in the classroom—and helping shape the future of how education looks in real time.

Students and staff presented the district’s early success using MagicSchool AI, an education-based platform designed to support personalized learning and enhance instruction at the Feb. 4 Levittown Board of Education meeting. The presentation highlighted how both teachers and students are already integrating the technology into daily lessons across multiple schools.

Students Nathan d’Auteuil and William Amato led a news segment-style video presentation that featured interviews with students and staff about how they are using the platform. They demonstrated how MagicSchool AI can simulate conversations with real-life figures like CEOs, helping bring lessons to life.

“Every student who walks into my classroom is unique,” said Taylor Mastromonica, a special education teacher at Abbey Lane Elementary School. “MagicSchool is a key part of my classroom because it helps me personalize instruction more effectively.”

District officials say the tool has been quickly adopted. Since its rollout earlier this year, staff have generated nearly 33,000 pieces of AI-created content—lesson plans, rubrics, assessments, and more—while students have used it over 120,000 times.

The AI platform allows teachers to tailor texts and materials to individual students’ needs, offering a more flexible and inclusive learning environment. For students, it supports critical thinking and deeper engagement.

“Using MagicSchool as a tool not only helps me think deeply but also analyze and organize my ideas more precisely,” said General Douglas MacArthur High School student Ava Girardi. “I’m not just memorizing facts, but I’m able to ask better questions to my peers and teachers in my classrooms.”

Administrators emphasized that MagicSchool is being implemented in a safe and responsible way, with a focus on student privacy and academic integrity. The Feb. 4 presentation gave board members a firsthand look at how quickly students have adapted to using AI as a tool to sharpen their skills and expand their learning.
