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?
