In the contemporary societywhere the rapid development of generative AI (GenAI) infiltrate daily life, it is imperative for schools to keep up with the development.Future generations are expected to have GenAI skillsand knowledge in the same way that traditional literacy is a recruitment condition today. Schoolcurricula needto integratethisnew technologyto support students' learning and development. Research on artificial in education (AIED)has reported on the challengeswith the involvement of GenAI in teaching and learning, but also onGenAi as a study support. Tonot fall behind many schools have started out with AIED initiatives which createsa need forstudyinghow GenAI couldbe applied in a useful way in teaching and learning activities. The researchquestionthat guided this study was: In what ways couldthe use of GAI in visual form support students' learning process and motivationin upper secondary school settings?The overall research strategy was a qualitative case study approachwith investigator triangulation. Data were collected in a combination of observations at workshop sessions and semi-structured interviews. with teachers as well as students.In asix-stepinductive thematic analysis data excerpts were coded, aggregated to categories, and presented. Findings indicate thatGenAI toolsfor image generation, can have a positive effect on learning. At the same time that memorisation ofinformation is supported, there were also a positive impact on motivationand student satisfaction. The involvement of image generation tools not a substitute, but rather a complement to traditionalteaching and learning activities. The conclusion is that the use ofAI in education can offer new learning opportunities, and with the increased use of GenAI, it is crucial for both students and teachers to keep pace. However, this would require that more time and resources for teacher professional development on AIED.
