AI Lessons for the Classroom: A Practical Guide for Educators

By: Kim, John C., II

Your students already have AI in their pockets. The question isn't whether they'll use it. It's whether they'll use it well.
AI Lessons for the Classroom, the author delivers what overwhelmed teachers actually need: proven, ready-to-use activities that transform AI from a cheating threat into a powerful learning tool. No jargon. No hype. Just practical methods you can use on Monday morning.
This isn't another book telling you AI will revolutionize education. This field guide shows you exactly how to make it work in your classroom, whether you teach English, science, history, math, or any other subject.
Inside, you'll discover:
- 10 complete lesson frameworks with step-by-step instructions, timing guides, and exact prompts to use
- The interrogation method that turns AI-generated presentations into deep learning opportunities
- Fact-checking games that build critical thinking and media literacy skills students desperately need
- Debate and discussion techniques using AI as a Socratic sparring partner
- Hands-on building challenges where students discover what AI can't do
- Assessment rubrics designed specifically for AI-assisted work
- Quick-start activities requiring zero preparation-perfect for Sunday night before Monday morning
Drawing on cognitive science research and real classroom experience, Kim reveals a counterintuitive truth:
AI's greatest educational value isn't efficiency-it's the friction it creates when students must verify, question, and think critically about machine-generated content.
Each chapter includes "From the Field" stories showing what actually happens when teachers implement these methods, "What Goes Wrong" sections that help you avoid common pitfalls, and extension activities for students ready for deeper challenges.
Perfect for: middle school and high school teachers (grades 6-12), instructional coaches, curriculum coordinators, and education administrators seeking practical professional development resources.
The answer to every question is now available in seconds. The real skill-the one your students need-is knowing which questions to ask. This book shows you how to teach it.
