Turning Teachers Into Story Architects
How Arete Formazione Uses Lifetoon to Bring AI-Powered Creativity Into the Classroom.
"Its potential was immediately clear to teachers, even without needing to be described in words. They recognized it as an uncommonly effective tool: simple, intuitive, and powerful for instantly delivering content."

Who is Arete Formazione?
Arete Formazione helps teachers across Italy implement AI in their classrooms with confidence. Through webinars, training courses, and hands-on workshops, they've built a reputation for making emerging technology accessible and practical for educators at every level.
The challenge
Visual storytelling locked behind technical barriers
Teachers across Italy were increasingly interested in using visual content to boost engagement and comprehension in their classrooms. Comics, illustrated explanations, and visual narratives had proven effective for students of all ages and learning styles.
Most educators already have full schedules, diverse student needs, and a long list of digital tools they “should” be using. When you add AI into the mix, it can quickly feel like one more thing, complex, technical, and far from the reality of the classroom.
Arete Formazione wanted a way to show that AI can actually: save time, make explanations clearer, and give its students new creative channels, without technical friction, artistic training, or excessive time investment.
They needed a tool that was:
intuitive enough for teachers to “get it” in minutes
powerful enough to support serious learning goals
and flexible enough to work across subjects and age groups.
The solution
AI-powered visual creation for educators
Lifetoon eliminated the technical barriers between teachers' ideas and visual execution. Using AI-powered generation, educators could create comics and visual narratives by simply describing what they wanted—characters, scenes, dialogue, and layouts—then arranging them into engaging stories.
For Arete Formazione's training programs, Lifetoon became both the subject and the medium. Teachers learned about AI capabilities while simultaneously creating educational resources they could use in their own classrooms. Theory and practice merged seamlessly.
"Lifetoon successfully brings an educator's idea to life, creating educational resources that support and facilitate learning through clear and immediate language," said Antonio Berardino. "I sensed Lifetoon had great potential from the very first moment I experienced it."
The pilot
Teachers' immediate response
In May 2025, Antonio introduced Lifetoon during a live online training session with Italian educators learning AI for education. The session was part of a broader webinar series on artificial intelligence tools for teaching.
His primary objective was straightforward: show teachers a tool they would actually enjoy using and could implement immediately. He understood that adoption happens when tools feel intuitive, not when they're explained through lengthy tutorials.
The response exceeded expectations. Teachers grasped Lifetoon's potential almost instantly: "Perfetta!" "Super!" "Ottima piattaforma!" "Très bien!" "Excelente!".
As Antonio noted, "Its potential was immediately clear to teachers, even without needing to be described in words, I never imagined it would be such a hit in class."

1. Visual How-To Guides for the Classroom
Use Lifetoon to turn instructions into simple, visual guides:
Walk students through each step of a lab experiment.
Make group activity rules clear, fair, and fun.
2. Turn Lessons into Comics
Teachers & students turn core content into comics that can be reused as study materials.
Turn the life of a historical or literary figure into a comic biography.
Illustrate key scenes from a novel or a major event.
History & literature
Science, physics, chemistry
Show processes and experiments step by step.
Turn complex concepts into short visual sequences.
Math & logic
Break down a word problem or proof into a visual story.
Show each step of the reasoning so students can follow how the solution unfolds.
Languages
Turn reading passages or vocabulary sets into short comics to practice language in context.
Dramatize dialogues, everyday situations, or short narratives in the target language.

The result: students transform from passive consumers to active creators of learning resources.
3. Visual Storytelling & Project Work
Student storytelling projects where students transform written narratives into comics:
Personal stories
Emotions (confidence, anxiety, worry, pride)
Fictional adventures

4. Group Collaboration & Classroom Comics
Because Lifetoon is prompt-based, it’s easy to turn it into a team activity:
1
One student drafts the script,
2
another refines prompts and scenes,
3
others review, adjust, and assemble the final comic.
