Practical AI Strategies 2: The Critical Guide to GenAI in Education (Paperback or Softback)

In the two years since the publication of Practical AI Strategies, generative AI has changed beyond recognition. Chatbots still dominate everyday use, but the industry has moved on to agents and complex systems with AI at the centre.

Our questions have changed, too. It is no longer about which tool to use or how to write a better prompt. It is about hallucinations and bias, environmental cost and deepfakes, the human labour hidden behind AI systems, and how to redesign assessment so that students are actually learning.

This book is the critical guide educators need for this next phase. Dr Leon Furze returns with his trademark blend of practical advice and unflinching honesty, drawing on his PhD research and years of work alongside classroom teachers. He covers how generative AI actually works, how to choose and evaluate platforms wisely, how to rethink curriculum and assessment, and how to build genuine critical AI literacy in students and staff.

Practical AI Strategies 2 is essential reading for educators looking to move beyond chatbots and prepare both themselves and their students for the near future of AI.

Dr Leon Furze is an international consultant, author and speaker with nearly 20 years of experience across secondary, vocational and tertiary education. His PhD, completed in 2026, examined the implications of generative AI for writing instruction. He is the author of the bestselling Practical AI Strategies and works with educators and professionals to make sense of AI.
