**AI-driven tools have the potential to reshape higher education when integrated thoughtfully and ethically. In my future courses, I envision using tools like Khanmigo to support students with personalized content delivery, Gradescope to streamline assessment and feedback, and Packback to foster meaningful student engagement. Each of these tools brings efficiency and insight, but the goal is always to enhance—not replace—the human element of teaching.

**To maintain a student-centered approach, I would combine AI tools with collaborative activities, inquiry-based discussions, and one-on-one check-ins. AI can handle repetitive tasks and provide preliminary feedback, which allows me to spend more time guiding students, addressing misconceptions, and fostering critical thinking. As Holmes et al. (2022) explain, AI should empower educators, not reduce their role.

Effective integration also means protecting the instructor-student relationship. While AI can offer support, it should never overshadow the importance of human connection and mentorship in the classroom. I plan to use AI tools as a complement to live interactions, ensuring students still feel seen and heard.

**Ethical considerations are central to AI implementation. I will prioritize platforms that are FERPA-compliant, explain how data is used, and set clear boundaries on academic integrity. If students use AI unethically—such as submitting AI-generated work—I will approach it as a teachable moment, reinforcing values like integrity and critical thinking (Williamson & Eynon, 2020).
