The AI-Enhanced Classroom is a detailed, practical guide to AI in Education: Tools for Teachers and Students for readers who want a clear path from understanding the topic to using it confidently in real situations. The book is designed as a structured learning companion rather than a shallow overview: it introduces the core ideas, explains why they matter, then develops them through realistic examples, guided practice, scenario-based explanations, and common mistakes to avoid. Readers are taken step by step from foundational concepts into everyday applications, with each chapter building on the previous one so the material feels progressive, usable, and easy to revisit. The main areas of focus include Why AI Belongs in Every Classroom, Demystifying AI for Educators and Students, The AI Toolbox for Lesson Planning, Smart Differentiation with AI Assistants, Automating Assessment and Feedback, AI-Powered Study Tools for Students, Boosting Critical Thinking with AI Debate Partners, Creating Custom AI Chatbots for Your Subject, Using AI for Writing Workshops and Revision, Visual Learning: AI Image and Video Generators, giving the book a concrete learning arc that moves from orientation and confidence-building to applied communication, problem solving, and independent practice. The writing style is direct, supportive, and accessible, making the book suitable for self-study, classroom reinforcement, professional development, or personal improvement. It emphasizes practical understanding over abstract theory, so readers can immediately connect the lessons to conversations, decisions, habits, and challenges they are likely to face outside the page. By the end of the book, readers should have not only a stronger grasp of the subject, but also a collection of repeatable strategies, useful language patterns, mental models, and practical routines they can continue applying after they finish reading.

Karen Sawicki is an award-winning educator, instructional technology coach, and author with over eighteen years of experience in K-12 classrooms. She began her career teaching high school English and social studies in a large public school district, where she became known for integrating technology not as a novelty, but as a tool to solve real instructional problems. After earning a master’s degree in Learning, Design, and Technology from the University of Michigan, she transitioned into a district-wide role supporting teachers in the effective use of educational technology. Her work has been featured in *Edutopia*, *The Journal of Digital Learning in Teacher Education*, and on the *Cult of Pedagogy* podcast.

Sawicki is the founder of the consultancy EduAmp Digital, where she leads professional development workshops and coaching cohorts focused on practical, ethical AI integration. She has trained thousands of teachers across the United States and Canada, focusing on strategies that save time and deepen student learning rather than chasing the latest fads. She is a frequent speaker at national conferences, including ISTE, SXSW EDU, and the ASCD Annual Conference. Her first book, *The Paperless Classroom: A Practical Guide*, received critical acclaim for its no-nonsense approach to digital workflow.

When not in schools, Sawicki volunteers with her local public library’s adult literacy program and serves on the advisory board for the Center for Digital Learning at the University of Texas at Austin. She lives in Portland, Oregon, with her husband and two children, who provide her with a constant, firsthand understanding of how students actually use (and misuse) technology at home.
