***Second Edition. Updated for the 2025-2026 academic year.***
Since ChatGPT stormed the world in November 2022, speculation about AI in education has often been overwhelming, vague, or impractical. “Teaching Effectively with ChatGPT” provides practical, concrete strategies to integrate AI into your teaching, rooted in solid pedagogical principles.
Co-authors Levy and Pérez Albertos draw from their experience teaching at Harvard, insights from educators around the world, and extensive discussions with students. They present real-world examples from educators and students to help you, for Create engaging explanations and examples, like Ethan Mollick and Lilach Molick did at the University of Pennsylvania and Danny Liu did at the University of Sydney.Design a customized chatbot for your students to practice solving problems and developing specific skills, like Greg Bruich, Raj Chetty, Sharad Goel, David J. Malan, Todd Rogers, and Teddy Svoronos did in their courses at Harvard.Nudge your students to use ChatGPT to enhance their learning, like Fernando Díaz del Castillo did with his high school students in Colombia.Building on Levy’s “Teaching Effectively with Zoom,” this book will help you leverage technology to teach more effectively. While focusing on ChatGPT, the guidance also extends to other generative AI tools.
This second edition preserves the core of the first—practical strategies, real-world examples, and a focus on sound pedagogy—while adding updated guidance on new capabilities like reasoning models, Deep Research, and Projects. It also offers timely advice on choosing the right model for your goals; expands strategies for customizing ChatGPT for you and your students; and includes a more robust companion website with fresh prompts, tools, and examples.
