Teaching Prompting for Generative AI

by Jacqueline Hadel

In a world where AI can draft essays, solve problems, and simulate conversations, asking the right question has become the most powerful skill of all. In this hands-on guide, acclaimed educator and author Jacqueline Hadel equips students, teachers, and lifelong learners with the tools to master the art of prompting-transforming passive tech use into creative, critical collaboration.Whether you're teaching a classroom of digital natives or learning how to use AI more ethically and effectively yourself, this book walks you through every essential aspect: from understanding different types of prompts and avoiding bias, to applying Bloom's Taxonomy for deeper thinking, troubleshooting output issues, and designing real-world learning tasks that elevate-not replace-student voice.With practical examples, classroom-ready activities, and a global, human-centered perspective, this guide helps educators keep curiosity, agency, and independent thinking at the heart of the AI-integrated classroom.If Using AI as a Tool, Not a Crutch gave us the philosophy, Teaching Prompting for Generative AI gives us the method. It's not about replacing teachers or students-it's about asking better questions, together.
