Play?

One strategy I plan to use is encouraging students to explore and experiment with AI in a low-pressure way. Many people approach AI with hesitation or fear of making mistakes, but I have learned that some of the best learning happens when you give yourself permission to play, explore, and be curious.

Along my own AI journey, I realized that I first needed to understand my own thinking. AI often acts like a mirror, reflecting the quality, assumptions, and direction of the input I provide. Once I recognized that, I became more comfortable experimenting, asking questions, challenging ideas, and learning from the responses.

I want my students to develop that same mindset. Rather than viewing AI as something that simply provides answers, I want them to use it as a tool for exploration and critical thinking. By asking questions, testing ideas, and comparing AI-generated responses to their own knowledge and experience, students can develop a deeper understanding of both the subject matter and their own thought processes.

My goal is to help students see that learning is not about avoiding mistakes. It is about being willing to explore, reflect, and adapt. AI can support that process when it is used thoughtfully and with curiosity rather than fear.

How well do you know your own mind computer?

One thing I picked up along the way about AI and how I can use it is that I first had to figure out my own thinking. Once I worked through some of my own internal struggles, I realized that AI acts a lot like a mirror. At first, I found myself wondering whether I was fighting my own input, whether AI was filtering responses through my biases, or whether it was simply being overconfident because I had provided poor information. Eventually, I had to let go of my pride and recognize that the quality and direction of the responses I received often reflected the quality of the input I provided.

Through that realization, I quickly learned where my thinking ends and where AI begins. Understanding that distinction has helped me use AI more effectively. Rather than expecting it to have all the answers, I now see it as a partner that can help me organize information, challenge my assumptions, and work through problems. When used thoughtfully, the combination of human judgment and AI support can help uncover insights and solutions that neither could achieve as effectively alone.

AI Why is it Here

Why are you here? You are human. You already know how to navigate life and do your job. Don't let the noise confuse your role—you do what you do best, and let AI handle what it's good at.

AI: Why is it here? The rapid evolution of AI can be intimidating, but it only becomes scary if we project our own fear onto it. At its core, AI is just a tool, not a replacement. By stepping up and engaging with it instead of avoiding it, we strip away the fear of the unknown. Once we understand its purpose, we can stop worrying and start harnessing it to make our professional lives easier and more effective.

¿Qué herramientas de IA nos recomiendan para la investigación?

Adriana Toral

El uso de la IA en la educación fortalece el aprendizaje de los estudiantes o limita el pensamiento, es la pregunta que me realizo, pero creo que es una oportunidad de poder utilizar una herramienta valiosa para el aprendizaje.

La importancia del uso ético de la IA en la educación

Sin lugar a dudas la IA se ha convertido en una herramienta sumamente útil que apoya los procesos de enseñanza y aprendizaje. Las herramientas nos permiten crear materiales educativos, generar ideas de actividades y mejorar el tiempo de planificación. La IA debe completar el trabajo del docente pero JAMAS sustituir el criterio tecnico y profesional

¿De qué manera la IA puede contribuir con el desarrollo de actividades complejas como el análisis de datos?

Feedback

I should prioritize the feedback needed since students could become overwhelmed by the information being shared. Try to share a few points that are important rather than a list of items where I would like the student to improve. 

Grading with Consistency

I learned that I should pay attention to how I am grading, especially if have a lot of assignments to grade. This is important so that feedback remains individualized and specific to the student, so that the student can learn how to improve next time. 

Input

I have learned that the misuse of AI wastes a lot of time, is a danger to knowledge, and generates a lot of distrust in any area of ​​life, especially professionally.

Ethics matter in AI because these systems shape real-world decisions—like hiring, healthcare, and safety. Without ethical guidelines, AI can reinforce bias, invade privacy, or cause harm. Ethics helps ensure AI is fair, transparent, accountable, and used in ways that benefit people rather than exploit or disadvantage them.
