Thinking with AI
What if you could use Artificial Intelligence to make your students better thinkers, not lazier ones?
AI isn't just changing how students think – it's forcing us to confront what we're getting them to think, and why. Drawing from real classroom experience as both a teacher and EdTech integrator, Amelia King cuts through both the hysteria and the hype to deliver what educators actually actionable strategies that are classroom-ready for Monday morning. Through wit, wisdom, and a healthy dose of skepticism, she
AI as a distributed intelligence to enhance rather than replace cognitionThe crucial difference between cognitive offloading (sometimes good) and cognitive replacement (always bad)The Swiss Cheese Model for creating classrooms where thinking is too valuable to outsourceWhy AI detection is the wrong game entirely (and what game we should be playing instead)How to design assessments that make AI use more trouble than it's worthWhy making students fall in love with their own thinking is your best defence
Packed with immediately usable exercises, thoughtful frameworks, and enough humour to make the existential dread bearable, this book transforms the AI ‘threat’ into an opportunity. Not to AI-proof your classroom, but to create learning experiences so engaging that students wouldn't want to miss them.
Because when we stop asking "How do we catch the cheaters?" and start asking "How do we make thinking irresistible?", everything changes.
