AI Readiness Starter – Safe First Steps for New Learners
Lesson 4: Choose Your Next Step with AI
Lesson Objectives
By the end of this lesson, students should be able to:
- Complete one safe AI task from start to finish: choose, protect, ask, check, and decide.
- Explain the difference between "use it", "fix it", and "do not use it".
- Choose a sensible next learning step based on what they want AI to help with.
Lesson Content
You now have the four readiness habits:
- Pick a safe task. Small, low-risk, and easy for you to check.
- Protect private details. Use placeholders such as [name] and [date].
- Ask clearly. Give the facts, the reader, the length, and the rules.
- Check before you use it. Look for invented details, missing facts, and wrong tone.
The last step is a decision. Every AI answer ends up in one of three piles:
- Use it: it is accurate, clear, and you would be comfortable signing your name to it.
- Fix it: it is close. Send one clarification prompt, or edit it yourself.
- Do not use it: it is wrong, risky, or would take longer to fix than to write yourself.
"Do not use it" is not a failure. Knowing when to stop is part of using AI well.
