For my upcoming Math & Personal Finance class, I needed a set of realistic "Client Profile" cards for a financial planning simulation. Usually, designing and formatting these from scratch would take an entire afternoon. Instead, I collaborated with an AI model. 1️⃣ I described the simulation and the data points needed. 2️⃣ We iterated on a text-based design until the layout was perfect. 3️⃣ I asked the AI to convert that design into LaTeX code. The result? Professional-grade materials generated in under one hour, from concept to print-ready PDF. We often talk about the risks of AI, but the productivity potential for educators is unmatched. AI literacy is the new baseline competency. If we learn to drive these tools, we can focus less on formatting and a lot more on teaching. #teachingwithAI #math #personalfinance
