Educators & AI: Real Stories, Strategies and Reflections
By Ts. Dr. Suhailah Mohamed Noor
✨ Welcome to AI for Teaching & Learning
“I didn’t begin as an AI expert. I was just a lecturer who wanted her students to think — not just submit beautifully written answers generated in seconds.”
That’s where my journey with AI in education started. Not with mastery, but with concern. When I began seeing student work that was polished yet empty of voice, I knew something had to change — not just in students, but in how I design, assess, and teach.
This space isn’t about technical tutorials. It’s about reflection, experimentation, and sharing what works in the real classroom.
Here, I document:
- Real stories from my own teaching practice,
- Honest reflections about what worked (and what didn’t),
- AI-aware strategies that demand student thinking — not just clean outputs.
If the “past Dr Sue” could begin from confusion, hesitation, and curiosity, I’m sure you can too — regardless of where you’re starting. The key is this: don’t stop thinking just because AI can.
Let’s teach with AI, not fear it. Let’s lead, not just adapt.
Welcome to AI for Teaching & Learning.
This is about more than tools. This is about reshaping the future of education — and you’re part of it.
If the first reflection explored the emotional and ethical dilemma of AI-generated writing, this next piece dives deeper into educational design — challenging the way we frame assignments and assessments in a post-AI world.
🧠 No Need to Block 100%: Give Students Room to Think
When educators push to AI-proof everything, what are we really protecting — marks or minds?
In this bold reflection, Ts Dr Suhailah questions the widespread fear around AI in education. Drawing from her experience in engineering education, she reveals how take-home assignments often make up only a small portion of assessments — yet they become the main target of AI restrictions.
This article invites educators to rethink assessment design, not by banning AI, but by building thinking spaces where AI supports — not replaces — the learner’s voice.
