I learned that ChatGPT can be a powerful virtual tutor, especially in large classrooms where one-on-one attention is limited. It can personalize learning and help students who need extra support. However, I also learned about the risks: overreliance on AI can reduce critical thinking, and ChatGPT lacks emotional intelligence and true contextual understanding.
I intend to apply this by using ChatGPT as a supplementary tool, not a replacement for my teaching. I will design activities where students first think independently, then use ChatGPT to check or expand their ideas. I also plan to teach my students about academic integrity and how to question AI-generated responses. This way, we benefit from the technology without losing human connection or critical thinking skills.
