The Latest 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 continuously learn how to use it in ways that improve upon what we already do well. The Artificial Intelligence Playbook: Time-Saving Tools for Teachers that Make Learning More Engaging, Second Edition, is a thoroughly updated, expanded new edition that reflects the transformative changes that have emerged since the first publication, offering updated strategies, insights, research, and examples that address the latest developments in AI technology. Learn how to purposefully use AI with:
- Best practices for composing effective prompts for optimal output and incorporating images, PDFs, or other documents with those prompts
- An expanded look at the responsible use of generative AI, addressing plagiarism, citations, and other common concerns
- New strategies and research supporting AI literacy instruction to prepare students for an AI-powered future
- More classroom examples demonstrating AI use cases for instructional best practices across various grade levels
- Practical ways to implement AI to enhance teaching functions from planning, instruction, assessment, student engagement, and more.

With The Artificial Intelligence Playbook, Second Edition, in hand, educators will find even more time-saving tools to help build and sustain those vital relationships with students all while enhancing learning and engagement in the classroom.
