IN THIS LESSON

Welcome to our first pause-and-reflect checkpoint.


Now that you’ve tested your instincts in the AI or Not? drag-and-drop activity, it’s time to slow down and make sense of the surprises.

In this lesson you will:

  1. Spot your blind spots – Review any tools you mis-classified and surface the assumption that steered you wrong.

  2. Connect to the classroom – Consider how that same assumption could ripple into student misconceptions, budget choices, or lesson planning.

  3. Set a next-step heuristic – Craft one short promise to yourself (“Next time a product claims ‘AI-powered,’ I will …”) that sharpens your AI radar for the rest of the course.
