Session description

Empower your storytelling and new levels of creativity. In this hands-on workshop, learn how to leverage cutting-edge AI tools to take your visual designs, visual stories, and visual communications to the next level. Bring your ideas to life with AI-powered visual storytelling!

Purpose & objective

This session is designed to meet the following purposes and objectives:

-Educators need to engage learners in new and varying ways to present content and support learners in representing their learning creatively.

-Educators will develop an understanding of how AI visual generators work through hands-on practice with AI image/video generation platforms like DALL-E, Stable Diffusion, and Adobe Firefly, to name a few.

- Skills developed will include the effective and ethical use of AI models that can create images, animations, and video from text prompts. These AI usage strategies will be within the context of effective design principles and storytelling structure.

- Step-by-step guidance in crafting prompts and designing visuals. Developing responsive lesson plans that support integrating AI-generated graphics.

-Attendees will develop and curate their own strategies to apply within their role through our hands-on activities and the resources shared

The session objectives are to:

Introduce educators to leading AI visual creation tools.
Provide hands-on experience using these technologies.
Develop skills for generating engaging visual content.
Explore instructional design principles for effective integration.
Apply a digital citizenship and ethical approach to how visuals are created and what platforms to use
