#AI isn’t just a new tool; it’s a new tier of possibility. With a few prompts, even non-coders can climb the SAMR ladder, shifting tasks from simple substitution to jaw-dropping redefinition. Learning becomes personal, creative, and wildly engaging. 🚀✨ #EdTech #samr

Built a “living” snowglobe in #Gemini and realized the real magic was the writing. ❄️✍️ Getting the AI to “see” meant precision in adjectives, tone, and detail. The same skills we want for students. Prompt engineering isn’t cheating; it’s modern literacy. 🧠✨
