In recent years, I’ve really noticed how education has shifted with the use of AI in the classroom. As both a learner and someone who takes on teaching roles, the presence of AI tools has changed the way lessons are prepared, delivered, and even reviewed. For example, as a student, I’ve used AI-powered applications to summarize long readings or check the clarity of my writing. This makes studying more efficient, because instead of spending hours just organizing notes, I can focus more on understanding and applying the concepts.

On the teaching side, I’ve seen how AI helps in differentiating instruction. Some students may need practice exercises at a basic level, while others are ready for enrichment activities, and AI tools can generate both quickly.

One time, I used an AI tool to design review questions for a lesson in Social Studies. The result was a mix of multiple-choice, situational, and open-ended questions that catered to different learning styles. This saved time and gave me more energy to engage students during discussions.

Overall, the use of AI in everyday classroom life has made learning more personalized and teaching more efficient. The challenge, however, is making sure it’s used responsibly—not to replace thinking, but to support and extend it.
