Description
How can AI-generated visuals transform ordinary textbook tasks into engaging, inclusive, and memorable learning experiences? This practical 30-minute workshop explores how text-to-image AI generators can be integrated with gamification to address diverse learning needs in mixed-ability classrooms.
Grounded in action research and classroom practice, the session introduces two innovative, hands-on activities that allow teachers to experience the power of visual learning from a learner’s perspective before adapting the ideas for their own classrooms.
Participants will explore how to:
Generate stunning 3D visuals: Discover two powerful AI-powered websites for creating engaging images around targeted lexical items.
Gamify vocabulary learning: Experience a collaborative, three-stage Picture Relay challenge designed to maximise participation, encourage teamwork, and promote meaningful language use.
Differentiate for success: Adapt visual prompts and task demands to accommodate different proficiency levels, build confidence, and ensure every learner has an opportunity to contribute.
Rather than using AI-generated images merely as visual aids, this workshop demonstrates how to turn them into interactive learning tools that spark curiosity, sustain motivation, and make participation accessible to all. Teachers will leave with two practical, adaptable activities ready to implement in their own mixed-ability classrooms.
