Book Description
Now completely revised! An essential guide on how AI is revolutionizing the future of learning and how educators can adapt to this new era of human thinking.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing the way we learn, work, and think. Its integration into classrooms and workplaces is already underway, transforming ideas about creativity, authorship, and education. In this practical guide, teachers will discover how to harness and manage AI as a powerful teaching tool. 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, providing invaluable insights into what AI can accomplish in the classroom and beyond.
This second edition provides essential updates to new classes of tools—such as reasoning models, deep research, and agents—as well as many new assignment ideas and revised prompt ideas throughout. The authors expand the section on simulations and role-playing and include a brand-new section on customized bots. A new chapter on ethics and environmental concerns rounds out the collection. By learning how to use new AI tools and resources, educators will gain the confidence to navigate the challenges and seize the opportunities presented by AI. From interactive learning techniques to advanced assignment and assessment strategies, this comprehensive guide offers practical suggestions for integrating AI effectively into teaching and learning environments. Bowen and Watson tackle crucial questions related to academic integrity, cheating, and other emerging issues.
In the age of AI, critical thinking skills, information literacy, and a liberal arts education are more important than ever. As AI continues to reshape the nature of work and human thinking, educators can equip students with the skills they need to thrive in a rapidly evolving world. This indispensable guide, a companion text to Joan Monahan Watson’s book for K-12 instructors Learning with AI, leads educators through the uncharted territory of AI-powered education and the future of teaching and learning.
Review
“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.”
— Bonni Stachowiak, Producer and Host of the Teaching and Learning Podcast, praise for the first edition
“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.”
— Kate Drezek McConnell, American Association of Colleges and Universities, praise for the first edition
“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. “
— Todd Zakrajsek, co-author, Teaching at Its Best: A Research-Based Resource for College Instructors, praise for the first edition
“Teaching with AI offers clarity for faculty overwhelmed by AI, explaining concepts in understandable terms and providing a historical foundation.

“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.

“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.”
— Rob Nelson, praise for the first edition ― AI Log
“Highly recommended.”
