This AI platform has a ton of features to explore, but who has the time? 😅
Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered! Today, we’re spotlighting one feature you can use for FREE: Rubric Creation. 🙌

Creating rubrics has always been a headache for the teachers we know. Here’s how Magic School AI makes it simple:
- Create an account (choose the free plan or any other plan if you want more).
- Click on Rubrics.
- Fill in minimal info about your assignment.
