Description
Education has always adapted to new technologies, but the arrival of artificial intelligence (AI) marks one of the most disruptive shifts in recent history. Tools like ChatGPT can generate essays, solve maths problems, or create lesson plans in seconds. For educators, this is both exciting and concerning. While AI can save time and personalise learning, it also raises questions about plagiarism, fairness, and the future of assessment.This book aims to give teachers practical strategies to use AI effectively while safeguarding academic integrity. Rather than resisting or banning AI, educators must guide learners in using it responsibly-just as we did when calculators and the internet first entered classrooms. AI is not a passing trend. Since ChatGPT's release in 2022, millions of people worldwide have experimented with its capabilities. Students now use it for homework, revision, and even job applications. Teachers face a choice: ignore AI and risk falling behind, or embrace it and learn how to adapt classroom practice.AI offers opportunities to reduce workload, support learners with additional needs, and create more engaging resources to save time in the classroom. However, it also challenges traditional assessment models and raises ethical concerns. The task for educators is to balance opportunity with responsibility.
