A.I. lesson plans. (and the cost of keeping up)

I used to think the hardest part would be learning the tech. But it’s not the code or the lesson plans that keep me up at night—it’s the feeling that I’m already obsolete. Every time a new AI tool drops, I scramble to redesign everything, just to prove I’m still useful. Last week, I spent hours building a curriculum, only to watch my students find a better answer in seconds. I smiled and pretended it didn’t sting. But walking home, I kept replaying that moment: how small I felt, how tired. I’m supposed to be the expert, but I’m just trying not to fall behind. No one warns you that teaching can make you feel like you’re failing, even when you’re doing everything right. #TeacherBurnout #EdTechStruggles #ImposterSyndrome #Education
