You've probably heard about AI from every direction lately, so much so that it’s easy to feel like you should be using it for everything. But just because a new tool exists doesn’t mean it needs to be part of every task.

This article explores how to use AI with intention, starting from outcomes and working backward. It includes practical examples and prompt ideas to help guide your own use of generative AI—especially if you're designing learning experiences or developing content.
