Designed for educators, researchers, and policymakers, this insightful book equips readers with practical strategies, critical perspectives, and ethical insights into integrating AI in education. First published in Swedish in 2023, and here translated, updated, and adapted for an English-speaking international audience, it provides a user-friendly guide to the digital and AI-related challenges and opportunities in today's education systems. Drawing upon cutting-edge research, Thomas Nygren outlines how technology can be usefully integrated into education, not as a replacement for humans, but as a tool that supports and reinforces students' learning. Written in accessible language, topics covered include AI literacy, source awareness, and subject-specific opportunities. The central role of the teacher is emphasized throughout, as is the importance of thoughtful engagement with technology. By guiding the reader through the fastevolving digital transformation in education globally, it ultimately enables students to become informed participants in the digital world. ‘Here Nygren provides a wealth of illuminating, clarifying, and often research-based examples of strategies, methods, and practical exercises for teaching, and he carefully emphasizes both the advantages and disadvantages of AI use. There are also illustrative examples of generative AI, such as Chat GPT, and the opportunities and risks it can present for both teacher and student. Nygren is consistently very realistic, detailed and clear, and the many educational examples are described clearly, which makes the book excellent as an easily accessible source of inspiration and educational archive in all AI contexts in the school context.’ Ola Svärd, BTJ booklet no. 4 (Review of Swedish edition) A practical and research-based guide for educators on the opportunities, challenges, and ethical use of AI in schools.
