In this episode, I unpack why questioning and purpose setting are foundational skills for student-led learning, especially in classrooms where AI is becoming more common.
I explore the difference between students looking busy and students actually thinking, and why AI makes that distinction impossible to ignore. We walk through what purpose-setting and questioning can look like across K–12 classrooms, from nurturing curiosity in the early grades to supporting strategic, responsible AI use in high school.
Along the way, I share classroom examples and practical teacher moves to help students clarify what they’re trying to learn, ask better questions, and make more intentional decisions about when and how to use AI. The focus is on keeping students, not tools, at the center of learning.
