There's a pattern I keep seeing in every faculty workshop I run. Educators show up excited about AI. They leave with a faster version of the same lesson.
The problem isn't the tool. It's the question they're starting with. "How can I use AI?" feels right, but it skips the most important step: deciding what better learning actually looks like.
I wrote about three specific practices that shift the approach from efficiency to transformation. The first one alone changed how I design every lesson.
What question do you ask yourself BEFORE you open an AI tool? I'm genuinely curious whether other educators have a mental checklist or just dive in.
