AI as a Thinking Partner - Not a Thinking Replacement

This is an introductory lesson that helps students understand the role of AI in learning. Through discussion, interactive activities, and reflection, students explore what AI is, how it works, and its limitations. Students examine when AI can support learning, such as brainstorming ideas or clarifying concepts, and when it may interfere with learning if it replaces their own thinking. The lesson also guides students in developing shared classroom norms for responsible AI use.
