Review of How to Teach AI: Weaving Strategies and Activities into Any Content Area, by Rachelle Dené Poth
Artificial intelligence (AI) has revolutionized teaching and learning.Teachers need to keep current with the latest developments in AI to support students' deep learning and equip them with the necessary knowledge and skills to thrive in a world characterized by brittleness, anxiety, nonlinearity, and incomprehensibility (BANI; de Godoy, 2021).In How to Teach AI, Rachelle Den Poth demonstrates practical uses of AI in mainstream education and leverages various resources to assist teachers in creating meaningful and immersive learning experiences in the classroom.The book offers AI-powered tool recommendations and vivid examples from diverse fields for the purpose of strengthening teachers' confidence in integrating AI into their curricula.Comprising seven chapters, How to Teach AI paints a comprehensive picture of artificial intelligence technologies, critical pedagogy, and ethical considerations for teaching with AI in mainstream education (Holmes & Tuomi, 2022).Poth seeks to promote a foundational understanding of AI, addressing significant terms such as algorithms, machine learning, natural language processing (NLP), neural networks, and computational thinking.The author also discusses the historical context of AI's evolution and how its founding figures, e.g., Alan Turing and John McCarthy, paved the way for contemporary AI applications.
