CTL Book Study: Learning with AI: The K-12 Teacher’s Guide to a New Era of Human Learning | Online

This 7-week virtual book study course is focused on the brand-new book, Learning with AI: The K-12 Teacher’s Guide to a New Era of Human Learning (Watson, 2024). This course uses the social learning platform Perusall, which provides participants the opportunity to read, discuss, question, and otherwise engage with the text and peers in an asynchronous online learning environment following a two-chapter-per-week schedule. Participants read and annotate (comment on) the content from the book within the Perusall platform. Participants can engage with and collaborate with peers by asking questions and commenting on their annotations, leading to discussions of the text, their experiences related to the text, and deeper understandings. This social discussion element is what makes the “virtual book study” an interactive course that incorporates the discussion of an in-person book study while allowing participants to engage at times that work best for them. As quoted from the publisher’s website, “Developed for primary and secondary school teachers, Learning with AI presents a powerful overview of the evolving trends of AI in education and offers invaluable insights into what artificial intelligence can accomplish in the classroom and beyond. By learning how to use new AI tools and resources, educators can empower themselves 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” (Hopkins Press, para. 2). This virtual, interactive book study professional development course provides teachers the opportunity to read and discuss this exciting new book just published in November 2024, through which they will learn about how to implement AI effectively and ethically into the classroom.
