How to Use AI to Create Creative and Original Learning Situations

AI isn't going to replace you as a teacher. But it can save your time, spark ideas, and make your programming 10x more creative—if you use it right.

Forget copying and pasting entire lesson plans from ChatGPT. That’s not innovation. That’s lazy (and easy to spot in an exam). The real magic? Using AI as your brainstorming buddy.

Start by asking it for ideas:

• “Give me three creative ways to teach reported speech to 4º ESO.”

• “Suggest real-world situations for a unit about environmental awareness.”

• “List common misconceptions Spanish students have when using conditionals.”

Then, you take over. Mix, adapt, add your voice, your context, your spark. That’s when it becomes original.

AI doesn’t replace your thinking. It amplifies it—if you stop expecting it to do the whole job.

So use the tool. Just don’t become the tool.
