Years ago I decided to create what was in my head and share it via social media. I don’t debate, discuss or argue. Because I make stuff - It has opened doors, introduced me to brilliant creative artists, and allowed me to follow my passion. I am forever grateful.

What if AI didn’t write stories for students—but helped them write their own? Pivoting to iPad app using Apple’s on-device LLM to guide story creation, step by step. Private. Safe. Student-led. Teachers hold the key. #AIinEducation #AppleLLM @Apple @AppleEDU @Usingtechbetter

Sunday morning app updates:.UI design updated.Custom graphics - thanks @canva .New drawing canvas texture background .Added tap draw bring back Pencil kit function.Redesign/ resize buttons and elements

Saturday morning playing with liquid glass UI/menu (integrated with Swift) for science ai app. Just playing but @splinetool offers awesome templates & tutorials. Probably won’t integrate for younger students but good to play around with effects & learn some new skills. @Apple

Small but mighty update to Science Sketch AI this week: added a text size slider so students can read AI responses +-. Paired with the Read to Me button, it’s a step forward in accessibility. And yes—all AI stays on-device. Safe & private. @AppleEDU @Apple @Usingtechbetter

Fun - 360 bouncing balls in Vision Pro. Play / step inside / view. Used @scenery_app app to make - physics turned on. 360 texture wrap of sphere. Drag/drop/resize. 5 mins to make. @Usingtechbetter

If you’re a teacher looking to make sense of AI—and how it connects to assessment, knowledge, skills, and FAQ, + brilliant resources that bring AI to life in the classroom. Module 2 has just dropped, focused entirely on student use. @Usingtechbetter .

Image anchor opens a 3D model. But what if Vision Pro did the scanning—capturing real-world objects as 3D models you can analyse/manipulate? Crime scenes, artefacts - just a matter of time. Rough prototype using @scenery_app Thinking out loud. @Apple @Usingtechbetter

Scan of Olympiakos Training Ground in Rentis, Greece using aerial 3D scan. Imported into @scenery_app with interactive elements—viewed in Vision Pro. Messy prototype, but huge potential for immersive environments. #VisionPro #3Dscan #SpatialComputing @Apple @Usingtechbetter

Experimenting with portal settings in @scenery_app & size of image layered inside it. Trial/error but allowing user to explore more feom different angles is cool effect. Screen recording doesn’t do the Vision Pro Apple visuals justice. Beautiful in low light. Image @canva

Just combined @canva AI video generator with the @scenery_app for Vision Pro — and the result felt awesome. Tap a virtual light switch and the real world dims. Passthrough becomes part of the story. Not just layering content — transforming space. @Usingtechbetter

Quick update to my Science AI iPad app:.You can now add photos—because science is all about capturing, observing, and analysing the world around us. Combine this with sketch!.Powered entirely on-device with Apple’s LLM: Safe. Secure. Private. @AppleEDU @Apple @Usingtechbetter

We’re creating 3D content for our spatial computing (AI + creativity) program with Boys & Girls Club Chicago. Just found a tool that turns images into layered GLB files—so handy for students exploring 3D. This may solve some challenges.

Diving into @Apple new LLM Foundation models on the weekend —focusing on how to build in safety and privacy from the ground up. Made this visual combining my own code + Apple’s docs. Gradually shaping a custom model that fits. @AppleEDU @Usingtechbetter

Learning stays personal. Data stays on-device. Curiosity leads the way. Spent Sunday changing past AI prototype into Science app using Apple’s Foundation Models—tailoring prompts, supporting student inquiry, and embracing the joy of the build (and the bugs). @AppleEDU @Apple

To all the Queensland teachers — thank you. You’ve shown up with strength, care and commitment in a year that asked a lot of you. As the holidays begin, I hope you find space to rest, laugh, and reconnect with what fills your bucket. You deserve it.

Built a working prototype using Apple’s new on-device LLM (WWDC25). No logins, fully local. Students draw, write, and the AI responds—with a “Read to Me” option too. The more students write, the better the responses. Safer, slower—but purposeful. @AppleEDU @Apple #WWDC25

One of my all-time favourite edtech activities: using @canva to remove backgrounds and drop yourself into playful mini narratives! Combine figurine photography/video with acted-out video clips—suddenly, you’re part of the scene. @CanvaEdu + @Usingtechbetter

Old post - Connecting ai generated images in @canva with face matching tools. So much fun to put yourself in the narrative. @Usingtechbetter @CanvaEdu

Sunday morning playing with time stamp - add to scene in @scenery_app Very cool. Allow objects to appear (or other actions) at precise times in the video. Love it. @Usingtechbetter @CanvaEdu @AppleEDU

Proud to be part of a conference that’s opening new doors (or portals😂) for educators to lead with creativity and purpose. Call for presenters now open. Apple Using Technology Better .
