Exploring Unique AI Use Cases in Education
AI can be a valuable ally in strategic thinking beyond traditional tasks like creating deliverables. By incorporating AI tools like ChadGPT and Claude, individuals can engage in soundboarding their ideas and strategic planning more comprehensively. The AAA framework (Aim, Assess, Anticipate) offers a structured approach to enhancing strategic thinking by evaluating aims, criteria, and proactive responses to challenges.
Soundboarding Strategic Thinking with AI
AI tools like ChadGPT and Claude can assist in evaluating challenges and opportunities within projects. These tools offer insights into potential obstacles and suggest proactive solutions to mitigate risks. By leveraging AI in the assess and anticipate stages, individuals can refine their strategic plans and make informed decisions based on the AI-generated feedback and recommendations.
Proactive Planning and Tactical Responses with AI
Utilizing AI for strategic planning allows for proactive preparation and tactical responses to potential challenges. AI tools can generate structured communication plans, resource allocation strategies, and project management solutions based on the identified challenges. Through iterative engagement with AI frameworks like AAA, individuals can refine their thinking, generate deliverables, and enhance the overall strategic planning process.
As many users establish their routine for leveraging AI tools in education, I am noticing a pattern in many of these interactions.
Most user interactions with AI are A + B responses.
A user prompts chatGPT or Claude for a specific deliverable, such as a lesson plan, agenda, or summary, and once the AI tool generates it, the interaction is over.
I have found myself engaging in long dialogue exchanges with ChatGPT - sometimes I may be asking for support around a specific deliverable but most of the time, I am not.
Instead, I am leveraging ChatGPT and other AI tools for strategic thinking. AI has helped me think more comprehensively around plans, projects, initiatives, and other aims I may be pushing towards in the various professional roles I play.
Oftentimes, strategic thinking happens with colleagues or individually by journaling or using a consultancy protocol but what happens when you introduce AI into the equation?
