You don’t need to speak “robot”—you need to teach clearly

Just like giving instructions to a student who needs clarity, AI thrives when you speak with structure and examples. I realized my years of breaking down lessons, using visuals, and differentiating instruction translated perfectly into writing clear, effective prompts.

Prompting AI isn’t tech magic—it’s just good teaching with a keyboard. "It’s more like giving directions to a curious student. It’s about clarity — something teachers reverse-engineer every day." — from my article published in AIJourn

Teachers Move Fast (And So Does AI)

In teaching, when something doesn’t work, you try again, you pivot, you adapt, and adaption is a teachers superpower. That agility makes teachers surprisingly good at testing and refining tools like ChatGPT or Perplexity. I didn’t need a research paper to tell me if AI was useful—I just opened it during planning time and started experimenting. It was like having a teaching assistant who could brainstorm instantly, organize ideas, and never needed a bathroom break or a sub plan.

AI isn’t replacing me—it’s joining me.

AI doesn’t replace creativity—it scales it. When I design funnels, blog posts, or even lesson plans, I don’t just copy/paste what AI gives me. I coach it. I revise. I add voice and tone. That’s where the teacher in me shines. The result? Unique content that doesn’t sound like “Warmly, AI.” It sounds like me, because I've trained it. I've worked with it everyday. Just like with my students, I speak to AI with encouragement:
“You’re doing great, Chat. Let’s try that again, but with more voice.”
It may sound silly, but something about how we talk to AI affects what it gives back — and I’d argue teachers are naturally better at making that connection. Isn’t that kind of the goal?

Conclusion: Let the Teachers In

The next wave of AI power users won’t just be CEOs or coders. They’ll be educators. Because the skills that make great teachers—communication, empathy, clarity, adaptability—are exactly what make AI work better. Let me give you some articles to prove my point:
