STEM, Scaffolding, and the Future of Teaching & Learning
In this post, I reflect on my recent presentation at the Alamo STEM Ecosystem meeting, where I shared how artificial intelligence, and specifically tools like the AI tutor Verónica, can support educators in multilingual classrooms. I explore the concept of vibe coding, a new approach to programming with AI, and show how teachers can use tools like Claude to build their own classroom resources, even with minimal coding experience. From coding with my kids to creating interactive language games, I discuss the potential of AI to empower both educators and students as creators, not just consumers. This is about more than just technology, it’s about ownership, creativity, and building the future of education from the inside out.
