Playing with Content—Via AI Support
Amy Heusterberg-Richards · 2025
This chapter begins with a description of a high school Advanced Placement (AP) Language classroom using artificial intelligence (AI) to review content knowledge about rhetorical strategies. It then offers research-based rationale and instructional steps to guide teachers in using a play-based learning strategy called “Playing with Content—Via AI Support” in which students play a guessing game with AI to study content. This chapter ends with samples of student-facing instructions, examples of teacher use, and ideas to implement this play-based learning approach in high school classrooms of varying subjects.
