Description

A 2024 Google Ed Leaders Book Club Pick
Time Saving AI Tools that Make Learning More Engaging

Busy educators need tools that support their planning and provide them with more time with students. While Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a promising solution, it can only help if we're willing to learn how to use it in ways that improve upon what we already do well. The Artificial Intelligence Playbook: Time Saving Tools that Make Learning More Engaging is here to empower teachers to explore AI's potential and discover practical ways to implement it to enhance their planning and instruction. Two chapters and 6 "Educator Functions" guide teachers step-by-step through how to purposely use AI to:

  • Compose Writing Prompts and Avoid Plagiarism
  • Manage Content
  • Foster Student Engagement
  • Meet Students' Instructional Needs
  • Assess Student Learning
  • Continue Lifelong Learning

Though AI has the potential to reduce workload for educators, it will never replace teachers. Your connection with students is irreplaceable--and greatly impacts their learning. Consider AI a valuable tool that provides you with more time to build and sustain those vital relationships with students and that can assist them in learning at the very same time.

Critical Reviews

"Enter into the world of Artificial Intelligence through this playbook! We know the importance of clarity, feedback, and high-quality assessments on our students' learning, but planning for each of these can be time-consuming. Use this playbook as a guide to learn practical ways AI can enhance your productivity as an educator so you can spend less time preparing and more time teaching and supporting your students."

--Alisa Barret

"This book will give you the confidence you need to go forth and explore AI tools to enhance the instructional practices you already find most effective with your students. It is not just a book of ideas; it provides a foundation of research and pedagogy and shows how AI tools can build on that foundation."

--Brett Vogelsinger

"The Artificial Intelligence Playbook addresses a much-needed gap in professional development. As educators become more aware of the potential impact of AI in education, there is worry that it will be misused. Artificial Intelligence is here to stay, and educators need to accept that and adapt. This book does an excellent job of making that transition painless - and even enjoyable. Who knew that AI could be used to take some of the burden off educators (planning, differentiating, teaching, assessing, etc.) while making learning more engaging and personalized for students?"

--Ruthanne Munger

"The Artificial Intelligence Playbook is a pivotal text that has come to us right during the time when it is most needed. Tackling the subject of AI in the classroom, this book gives us the solutions to what is currently affecting those of us in K-12 and Higher Education. A perfect guide to pedagogical and personal advancement!"

--Darius Phelps

"The Artificial Intelligence Playbook is topical, practical, and should serve as an important "go-to" introductory text on the subject of AI in PreK-12 education."

--Carol S. Holzberg, PhD
