In a world where AI tools like ChatGPT are reshaping how we write, think, and learn, this book offers a timely, honest, and empowering guide for both students and educators.
Using AI as a Tool, Not a Crutch isn't just another how-to manual-it's a thoughtful companion for anyone navigating the ethical, academic, and practical dimensions of AI in education. With clarity and conviction, Jackie H., a globally experienced educator, outlines how artificial intelligence can be used ethically, creatively, and effectively-without replacing human thought, effort, or voice.
Inside, you'll find:
Ethical guidelines for responsible AI use
Ready-to-use classroom activities and lesson prompts
How-to guides for using AI in writing, reading, and research
Clear distinctions between support and substitution
Advice for students, teachers, CELTA trainers, EAP instructors, and policy makers
Real classroom experiences from Bhutan to Belgium
Whether you're a curious learner, a frustrated teacher, or a program director facing policy decisions, this book is a grounding force. It reminds us that while AI can assist with structure, ideas, and polish-it should never erase the human struggle to express, create, and understand.
This is not a shortcut. This is a guide to doing the work-wisely.
