Our Stance on AI
At Pixton, we're committed to leveraging technology to enhance the educational experience for both teachers and students. We believe in the responsible and thoughtful use of artificial intelligence (AI). Our guiding principle is that AI should empower students to strengthen and build upon the skills they have already mastered, ensuring that technology serves as a supportive tool in the learning process.
As we continue to explore the potential of AI, we are excited to announce the release of our first AI-supported features:
Activities, Writing Prompts, Vocab Words — Now aligned to popular reading programs, and curriculum standards!
When a teacher wants to create a new activity for students, they have the option to enter a topic. The Activity Maker then uses AI, referencing the chosen reading program or curriculum standards, to either draft an activity or suggest 3 activity ideas. Activities can be assigned to one or more classrooms, and include a title, description, student instructions, writing prompts, vocabulary, and a due date — all of which are editable. Related resources are also listed, including webinars, lesson ideas, content packs, story starters, printables, and differentiation strategies. The use of AI saves time and enables educators to focus more on student engagement and learning outcomes.

We recognize the transformative potential of AI in education and are dedicated to integrating it into our products in ways that prioritize student learning, critical thinking, safety, and privacy. As we explore further AI applications, we remain committed to ensuring that any AI features align with educational best practices and contribute positively to the learning experience.
We look forward to continuing our journey of innovation, always with the best interests of educators and students at the forefront.
