Learning abstract concepts is difficult because our students are beginners in many cases. This means they primarily understand new ideas in the context of what they already know, which is usually concrete. To build a robust “schema” (a mental structure of organized knowledge), students need more than a definition; they need to see the concept in action through examples vs. non examples. With this said, it is now ever been easier to create examples vs. non examples using Gemini’s Nano Banana Pro image generator that is associated with Gemini 3. In this post, you’ll see how to do this to support your instruction.

AI Agent Advancements: Google Lens (aka Homework Helper) and Comet Browser
As educators, we’ve navigated the shift from chalkboards to smartboards, from calculators to laptops. But the change barreling towards us now is different. It’s not just a new tool; it’s a new kind of actor in the learning process. I’m talking about AI-powered tools like Google Lens and the emerging class of AI-agent browsers, such as Perplexity’s Comet Browser. These technologies are fundamentally reshaping what it means to “do work” and forcing us to confront a critical reality: we can no longer guarantee the authenticity of any work done outside our direct supervision. As a result, what does this mean for asynchronous online learning and completing graded work outside of traditional in-person classes?
AI Agents: The Future of School Leadership
The deployment of AI Agents has the potential to greatly impact school leadership. These autonomous software systems, capable of perceiving their environment, making decisions, and executing actions independently, will have the opportunity to redefine the role of educational leaders if they choose to deploy these tools. Remember, we are still in the early days ofContinueContinue reading “AI Agents: The Future of School Leadership”
The Death of the LMS in Higher Ed: How AI Agents May Make the Traditional LMS Learning Obsolete in the Near Future
The rise of AI-powered agents like Operator (and many more) will drastically reshape how higher education delivers courses online, making traditional Learning Management Systems (LMS) increasingly irrelevant if safeguards are not created. As students gain access to AI tools capable of completing assignments within an internet browser autonomously, writing essays, answering quizzes and tests, andContinueContinue reading “The Death of the LMS in Higher Ed: How AI Agents May Make the Traditional LMS Learning Obsolete in the Near Future”
