"As members of the Artificial Intelligence Innovator Cohort, these educators have demonstrated exceptional leadership by sharing their experiences using the text-to-image AI feature in Adobe Express. Their contributions to an FCPS video currently in production will provide valuable insights and inspiration to colleagues across the district, highlighting the potential of this tool to enhance student expression, creativity, and learning outcomes.

Each educator thoughtfully detailed their unique journey within the cohort, offering a diverse range of perspectives on the impact of this technology on students of various grade levels and learning needs. As AI innovators, they have already made significant contributions to their school communities, and this video will further amplify their reach, empowering educators throughout FCPS to leverage AI tools for transformative educational experiences.
