Large language models generate code from natural language prompts, a process known as "vibe coding," enabling non-programmers to develop computational solutions. For teachers, vibe coding amplifies their value as designers, enhancing technology integration and fostering AI literacy. However, structured guidance to support this process is lacking. We propose GAIDE (A Guiding Framework for AI-Integrated Design for Educators), aimed at helping K-12 teachers create AI-powered learning technologies through vibe coding. The initial framework, built on Design Thinking and INTERACT, was validated through a CORDTRA interaction analysis involving three teachers and four faculty mentors during an eight-week workshop to derive the final framework. Additionally, qualitative analysis of pre- and post-interviews revealed an enhancement of teachers' AI literacy. Findings highlight the potential of learning-by-creating for professional development.
Blogger's Review: This framework provides teachers with a clear pathway to enhance their AI literacy and teaching capabilities amidst rapid technological advancements, showcasing the innovative potential in the field of educational technology.
