When I was putting together my “Turning Whatever Into Wow” presentation, I kept coming back to one truth: don’t let AI create your lesson. Use it to support your thinking, not replace it.
You are the human in the loop. You know your students. You know your standards. You know what they need to know and be able to do by the end of a lesson.
That’s how every lesson should start—with the end in mind. What skill are we building? What misconception are we clearing up? What connection are we hoping they make? Once I know that, then I bring AI into the process—not to do the work for me, but to help sharpen the work I’m already doing.
AI is powerful, but your thinking still drives everything.
