In 'Teaching with AI,' José Antonio Bowen and C. Edward Watson present emerging and powerful research on the seismic changes AI is already creating in schools and the workplace. The book provides invaluable insights into what AI can accomplish in teh classroom and beyond.
An excellent introduction....Teaching with AI offers an informed, consensus view from a positive but not delusional perspective about how educators should approach generative AI. Bowen and Watson are clear-eyed critics of the narratives that shaped the initial reception of ChatGPT, providing an excellent account of the homework crisis and AI-assisted teaching. They embrace the notion that LLMs can be effective collaborators, emphasizing not just the administrative effort it might save but the role that LLMs can play in brainstorming and creating class activities and assignments.The most valuable aspect of Teaching with AI is how seriously it takes the perspective of students.
Highly recommended.
Navigating AI's impact within an educational context is a formidable task, one that requires a collective effort. In Teaching with AI, authors Bowen and Watson equip educators to adapt to these changes with integrity, practical wisdom, and creative inspiration. This book serves as an invaluable resource for those seeking to harness the potential of AI to enhance their teaching and learning, while mitigating the challenges.
This book is a veritable lifeline to those of us navigating the turbulent waters of AI in the postsecondary classroom, provided we are willing to take seriously the need to revisit our assumptions about both what constitutes learning as well as the value and purpose of college teaching.
This book is fantastic! Bowen and Watson deftly combine explanations of complex issues surrounding student use of AI, suggestions for integrating AI effectively into a wide range of teaching and learning situations, and examples of actual prompts to enhance the effectiveness of AI. This is so good I kept telling myself 'just a few more pages,' until I had read nearly the entire book in one sitting.
Teaching with AI offers clarity for faculty overwhelmed by AI, explaining concepts in understandable terms and providing a historical foundation. Beyond classroom instruction techniques, it reveals innovative ways to integrate AI to reduce faculty workload and transform educational practices. Bowen and Watson empower educators to navigate AI's complexities without requiring prior knowledge. A must-read for any faculty, old or new.
Timely and focused, Teaching with AI is essential reading for postsecondary educators. In addition to offering a concise primer, the book is packed with nuanced and specific examples, while staying focused on core principles of good pedagogy. Helping every student believe and experience 'I care, I can, I matter' in an age of AI may be the most important lesson from this thoughtful volume.
Leaders in higher education are facing a major dilemma: the need to respond quickly and effectively to the AI revolution. Teaching with AI offers a comprehensive invitation to faculty and others looking for inspiration as they seek to remake college pedagogy to fit the new realities of an AI-driven future.
Lucid, practical, daring, yet grounded. Written in a pithy, engaging style, Teaching with AI offers a host of concrete, straightforward suggestions for classroom and professional applications. Bowen and Watson offer a nuanced discussion of academic integrity, the pitfalls of AI detection, and alternate approaches that can help.
