I help international schools flourish with AI — not by adding more tech, but by transforming how educators think about learning design. Three 90-minute sessions. That's the on-ramp. Educators go from AI-anxious to AI-fluent. I've done this across 50+ institutions, and I built EDodo.app to scale what happens after. 20+ years building software. Director at Axelerant. Former Director of Pedagogy at MasaiSchool. Built education tools the first week ChatGPT launched — because most people were missing the point. AI isn't a content machine — it's a learning experience designer. That's the lens I bring to everything.

About This Course

A hands-on course for teachers and L&D designers on generating classroom-ready images with Google's Gemini (Nano Banana) — prompts, style library, character consistency, and targeted editing, built for real lessons, not demos.

AI image tools promise teachers instant classroom visuals. The reality: most attempts produce generic stock-photo slop — the same stock-photo slop, no matter how many emoji you stuff into the prompt. This course fixes that. You'll learn how Google's Gemini (nicknamed Nano Banana) actually reads a prompt — and how to write one that gives you the exact image you pictured. Worksheets with the character you invented. Flashcards that look like a real set, not ten unrelated images. Storybook pages where the hero's face stays the same from page 1 to page 10. Diagrams that actually teach. No mask tools. No inpainting. No software to learn. Just words, used well. By the end you'll have: a seven-part image prompt blueprint, a paste-ready style library of classroom-tested visual styles, character-consistency workflows for multi-image sets, targeted-editing moves that fix one thing without redrawing the whole scene, and three complete workflows you can run tomorrow — slide header, storybook spread, labeled biology diagram.

What You'll Learn

  • Write a seven-part Gemini image prompt (style, subject, action, setting, composition, lighting, mood) that produces the image you intended on the first try
  • Match a visual style to an age group and pedagogical goal — pick the right style 80% of the time
  • Keep a character visually consistent across a 10-image set (storybooks, mascot decks, multi-card flashcards)
  • Edit an existing AI image by describing ONE change in words — keeping the rest pixel-identical
  • Produce a classroom-ready flashcard deck, slide header, and labeled diagram from scratch in under 30 minutes each

The Challenge

You've tried AI image tools. The output looked... fine. And also useless.

Here's what happens when a teacher types 'a cat' into an AI image tool: you get a cat. A generic tabby. Not the orange picture-book fluffball you wanted. Not the cartoon mascot you needed for your flashcards. Just... a cat.

The gap between what you pictured and what you got is the entire reason most teachers try AI image tools once, get disappointed, and go back to Google Images.

This course teaches you to close that gap — not with better software, but with a seven-part prompt blueprint that gives Gemini everything it needs to render the image you actually wanted.

Gemini (Nano Banana) is a language model first, image model second — it treats your prompt like a description of a scene, not a tag list.

Google AI documentation

Character consistency across multiple images is the superpower that makes 10-page storybooks, mascot flashcard sets, and serial learning visuals actually work.

Google, Nano Banana release notes

Targeted editing ('change the apple to red, keep the rest the same') removes the biggest friction in classroom image workflows — having to regenerate the whole scene because of one detail.

Why Now

The Landscape Is Shifting Fast

26%

of teens already use AI for schoolwork. Your students are already generating images — you should be better at it than they are.

Pew Research, 2024

80%

of AI-generated classroom visuals look like stock photos. The fix isn't a better tool — it's a better prompt.

Course research, 2026

4 hours

is all it takes to go from 'AI images look generic' to 'I made a 10-page storybook with a consistent mascot'.

What You'll Build

Concrete Deliverables

1

The Image Blueprint

A seven-part formula you'll use for every prompt: Style + Subject + Action + Setting + Composition + Lighting + Mood

2

A 15-style library

Paste-ready prompts for 15 classroom-tested styles — from Storybook Watercolor to Isometric Diagram to Ukiyo-e Woodblock

3

Character consistency workflow

Keep a mascot, storybook hero, or historical figure looking identical across 10+ images

4

Targeted editing moves

Change one thing. Keep everything else. Without masks, without regenerating from scratch

5

Three complete workflows

Slide header, storybook spread, labeled biology diagram — built end-to-end in the course

6

A prompt library for your classroom

Every prompt you build in the course is a template you can reuse forever, swapping only the subject

Perfect For

Who This Course Is For

Classroom teachers K-12

Worksheets, flashcards, posters, slide visuals — stop using generic stock images.

Instructional designers and L&D

Build branded visual systems. Mascots that stay consistent. Diagrams that look like a real textbook.

Academic leaders and coordinators

Understand what AI image tools can actually do before you approve them for your teachers.

Anyone who's tried Midjourney and given up

Gemini is a language model first. If you can describe what you want, you can generate it.

Honest Disclaimer

This Is NOT For You If…

Anyone looking for a list of 'best AI tools for teachers' — this is one tool, taught deeply
Anyone who wants a button that says 'generate a lesson' — this is about you directing the image, not replacing your thinking
Anyone unwilling to type more than five words per prompt — Gemini rewards specificity; this course teaches specificity
