Balancing Innovation and Experience: Lesson Planning
Jameelah, an English teacher, started using AI tools to help plan her lessons. At first, the AI seemed very helpful, giving her many ideas for activities, like vocabulary games and reading comprehension quizzes. But after trying some of the AI’s suggestions, Jameelah noticed a problem.
Some activities, such as simple word matching, were too easy for her advanced students. Other activities, like writing full essays, were too difficult for students who struggle with English.
She began to worry: if she keeps using AI, will it truly meet the needs of all her students?
Jameelah also feels that the AI doesn’t know her class as well as she does. Now, she’s not sure what to do. Should she spend extra time changing the AI’s activities to fit each student? Or should she stop using AI and rely on her own experience to create activities?
Jameelah is stuck between saving time with AI or personalizing her lessons on her own.
Questions to think about:
1. How can teachers adjust AI activities to match different students' levels?
2. When is it better to trust your own teaching ideas instead of AI suggestions?
