I have really enjoyed your posts on the use of AI in the classroom. I shared this with my department the other day and someone posed a really good comment which was essentially, you have to be an experienced teacher in the first place to be able to use the AI lesson planner properly to be able to recognise when the learning objectives are not suitable for example and pose the questions as you yourself did. As a novice teacher, there is a danger that you could take a lesson from this and use it without properly thinking about whether or not what it is giving you is correct, suitable or appropriate. Knowing common misconceptions, being able to write diagnostic questions come from experience, and therefore, if you have the experience do you need the AI tool?

Thanks for sharing. I think I like this more than teachers being given a pre made lesson or unit, but as you said, they need to use this as a base and then differentiate from there. There is too much out there now that allows teachers to be lazy, so learning how to use AI tools to cut some time is important.
