Teach Like a Human
No full textAre the machines taking over? Artificial intelligence suddenly seems to be everywhere, including in the world of education. With new AI-powered tools popping up every day, it’s no wonder that educators might feel overwhelmed. How can we navigate the strange new world of AI without losing our humanity—or our sense of humor?Blending thoughtful theology, practical wisdom, and a deep love for teaching, this book invites educators to reflect on big questions: What does it mean to be a real human in an age of artificial intelligence? What tools should we adopt, and which ones should we avoid—and how can we decide? How do we stay grounded in the gospel story while adapting to emerging technologies?Rather than offering easy answers or alarmist warnings, let’s consider an approach that is curious and courageous, developing a hopeful vision for education that forms both minds and hearts. Standing on the truth of Scripture and keeping a finger on the tech pulse, this book helps Christian educators practice thinking faithfully, acting ethically, and teaching joyfully—even when algorithms are everywhere. Teaching Christianly with technology isn’t about keeping up with the latest tools and trends; it’s about being the humans God created us to be!https://digitalcollections.dordt.edu/books/1075/thumbnail.jp

Many communities continue to wrestle with the pastoral and practical implications of welcoming children into worship as full, distinct participants, yet within the biblical narrative, children are included as full participants in experiencing the Spirit’s gifts and empowerment and encountering God’s dynamic presence. Emerging from the discipline of practical theology and a review of New Testament pneumatology from Acts 2 and 1 Corinthians 12, this paper argues for the full inclusion of children within the church’s worship life as welcomed, distinct participants. Contributing to the emerging field of children’s spirituality, we offer faith-forming pedagogical practices to engage children in congregational songs as participants and as those filled with the Spirit as leaders. This article contributes to the fields of worship studies and children’s spirituality by exploring hospitable approaches in corporate worship and congregational songs that affirm children’s capacity to lead in distinct ways where their own spirituality is formed alongside that of the congregation
