Introduction - Module 3

 

Walking into the third module of this specialization course, "Creating Effective Lesson Plans with AI and Design Thinking," I was both excited and a little worried about the new challenges I was about to face. The idea of creating engaging and comprehensive lesson plans for an entire year felt like a hard task. I thought I was not prepared enough to overcome this new challenge because I was conscious that I had not practiced enough with the tools that the teacher had taught. This module pushed me the most to improve because it was my first experience creating a lesson plan for a complete academic year of high school, and I was convinced that my inexperience was going to play against me. However, the fear of failure became part of my motivation. Since I started the course, I have realized how AI has not only helped me create effective learning experiences but also has saved me a significant amount of time, allowing me to focus on more strategic aspects of teaching. Undoubtedly, AI tools have transformed my life not only as a teacher but also as a student, and I think that I am taking advantage of all the things I have learned during this course. Tools such as Chat GPT, Brisk, Copilot, Gemini, Claude, Edu aid, Magic School, and Padlet took an important role to work in the assignments of this module.
