Imaginarium is a didactic technique designed to facilitate the understanding and significance of complex concepts in education. Inspired by the board game Dixit and powered by the generative artificial intelligence of Midjourney, this tool offers teachers and students a creative and visual way to tackle challenging topics across various disciplines.
Through the use of carefully designed illustrations, Imaginarium aims to stimulate reflection, critical thinking, and personal interpretation among students. This technique not only makes difficult concepts more accessible but also promotes more meaningful and lasting learning by connecting new knowledge to students' prior experiences.
In the following sections, we will delve into the theory behind Imaginarium, its inspiration, the process of creating the illustrations, and how to implement this technique in the classroom to enrich the educational experience.

I firmly believe that by combining visual creativity with conceptual learning, we can open new doors to students' understanding and engagement. My hope is that this tool inspires both teachers and students to explore new ways of teaching and learning.
I invite all teachers to experiment with Imaginarium in their classrooms. Together, we can create a more dynamic, inclusive, and meaningful learning environment.
I am Luis Lastra, a keeper of ancient artifacts and an explorer of the mysteries that unite technology and education. My journey through the realms of multimodal and adaptive environments, teacher training, and the design of technology-enhanced learning experiences led me to forge Imaginarium. This didactic technique, conceived to enrich teaching, is crafted for the benefit of the entire academic community, unbound and open to those who dare to explore its possibilities.
