This module has been more than an introduction to artificial intelligence in teaching: it has been a reminder that the teaching profession is not static and that, as educators, we must adapt to it.
First, I employed generative AI with some caution. I didn't know if it would be useful or usable in the real world of lesson planning, where we need diverse learners, limited time, and particular goals. But as I tried various AI applications and conducted testing and experiments with its capabilities, my perception evolved. I learned to see AI, not as a shortcut, but as a support system: a tool to increase my teaching, add variety to my content and address specific learner needs more effectively.
One of the most valuable lessons for me was that teachers are still at the center. The AI may create content, propose activities or provide feedback, but it is the teacher who provides guidance, context and heart to the learning experience.
In the
future, I can already able to see some of the situations in my classroom when
this learning would be applicable. For example, I would like to develop
tailored listening practice using AI, specifically for those students who have
difficulty with that skill. I also believe it would be helpful to use AI to
modify dialogues or short texts to different levels of proficiency, which would
otherwise take hours to do by hand.
Finally,
this module did more than offer me new tools—it offered me new questions, new
possibilities, and fresh passion to teach creatively, intentionally, and with
an open heart to innovation.
