Introduction
Educators are increasingly turning to AI when they need ideas quickly, whether for lessons, communications, or problem-solving. While AI can generate options at speed, the quality and appropriateness of those ideas still depend on human judgment. This module focuses on using AI as a creative partner rather than as a decision-maker. Participants examine how AI generates ideas, why outputs can appear confident but misaligned, and how explicit criteria help protect purpose, context, and inclusivity.
Through realistic educator scenarios, learners practice expanding possibilities without outsourcing professional responsibility. By the end of this module, participants have practical strategies for effectively prompting AI and curating outputs with intention, so that creative work remains grounded in learning goals and values.
