Extremely Helpful!

Excellent examples for using AI in assignments to help students ydse the tools effectively (and hopefully ethically).

Great after the introductory fluff chapters

I recommend skipping the first few chapters which tell us what AI is and why it’s important and get straight into the practical chapters which are pleasantly succinct, thoughtful, and practical.

A Lot is At Stake

AI is here and we have to adapt. This is an excellent book to give teachers a reality check about how AI will affect education. It gives lots of practical advice for practicing with AI and how to integrate it into the classroom. This is a must read for any educator.

Practical information how to bring AI into the classroom

I really like the overall coverage of all the different AI tools that are out there at the time of the writing. But was most helpful is actually been able to sit down and write some prompts and playing around with becoming a better prompt writer.

The other aspect of this book was some practical applications and ideas to bring AI into the classroom that helps challenge students how to use the tool and develop skills they can’t easily create with AI. I think it’s a different approach to teaching than we’ve been used to. And it’s not going away.

Great Start

After reading I immediately began using AI for productivity like rubric design, research , and creating exemplars for studens. The technical stuff at the start is not for everyone .I think the explanatios are important and they served as analogies for past tech innovations that changed teaching .(Not written by AI) 😝
