The A.I. Revolution is here and many schools are scrambling with how to respond. The truth is nobody knows exactly how machine learning will change teaching and learning. Moving forward, educators will need to be adaptable in the face of these changes. But more importantly, our students will need to navigate a world where to corporate ladder is now a maze. They'll need to develop deeply human skills in a world of smart machines.This book does not offer a blueprint with specific directions for how to use generative AI. It doesn't offer a step-by-step instruction manual for how educators will need to re-imagine learning. But what it does offer is a roadmap for how we can navigate the changing terrain. We explore how AI works and how we can avoid the two dead-ends of the Lock It and Block It and the Techno-Futurism routes. In this roadmap, we offer a third way that is human-centered and tech-infused. We examine how AI is transforming creative thinking, information literacy, project-based learning, assessment, and personalized learning and how we might keep a human-centered focus as we navigate these changes. Finally, we analyze how AI is changing each subject area and how we can respond in a way that helps us leverage AI while maintaining our humanity.

This is a study of political leadership and organization during the first thirty years of organized African politics in Kenya, from the formation of the Kikuyu Association after World War I to the first few months of the 'Mau Mau' Emergency. Its theme is the attempt of Africans to find an effective political voice, and it centres on the Kikuyu, the tribe upon which the British intrusion had the greatest physical and emotional effect and which was therefore the most active politically.

This book is a call to arms for those who believe in sound ethical principles and professionalism, in the concept of putting duty before profit, and for those who, like Jack Worthing, may prove to be Ernest after all. The author reflects upon ethics (and lack of them) in five areas: sport, popular entertainment, public life (in particular, the police and politics), big business and the personal injury claims sector. At the end, he brings the seemingly diverse threads together. It is hoped that this book will have resonance for anyone who cares about the British public - especially those who believe that it is, after all, important to be ethical.
