How Stories and Mental Images Transform Learning

Storytelling is one of the most powerful tools in education, turning even the most abstract concepts into meaningful and memorable lessons. On a recent road trip, I played the audiobook Project Hail Mary for my kids. After a quick stop, my youngest excitedly said, “I want to keep watching the movie!” He wasn’t watching a movie, of course, but the story had sparked such vivid mental images that it felt like he was. This is the magic of storytelling—it engages the imagination, builds emotional connections, and makes ideas come alive. In the classroom, storytelling can do the same, helping students visualize concepts, connect with material on a deeper level, and retain information long after the lesson ends.

Language Development Through Video Games

Video games often get a bad reputation, but they can be powerful tools for education, especially when used thoughtfully. In my family, I’ve seen firsthand how games like Roblox foster teamwork and strategic thinking, while immersive titles like The Legend of Zelda encourage problem-solving and language development. One strategy I’ve found particularly effective is switching the language settings of games to Spanish, helping my kids strengthen their bilingual skills in a natural and engaging way. Games don’t just entertain, they teach collaboration, critical thinking, and even cultural literacy. As parents and educators, we have an opportunity to harness the potential of video games to support meaningful learning and real-world skill-building. With the right approach, gaming can bridge the gap between fun and education, leveling up both knowledge and confidence.

Transforming Bilingual Teacher Preparation with AI

My first year as a bilingual teacher was a whirlwind of frustration and self-doubt. Despite my optimism, I often felt overwhelmed by the demands of teaching students at varying levels of language acquisition. Meeting their diverse needs with limited preparation left me feeling unprepared and isolated. Fortunately, experienced teachers recognized my struggles and stepped in to mentor me. Without proper preparation or mentorship, many teachers face burnout, students suffer from inconsistent instruction, and the profession continues to see high attrition rates.This experience showed me how critical it is to provide robust, accessible, and innovative teacher preparation programs. That’s why I developed Verónica, an AI-powered virtual tutor designed to bridge these gaps. I’ll be presenting this solution and sharing how it can transform teacher preparation at the upcoming NABE Conference.
