Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) is revolutionising teaching practices, offering new opportunities to personalise learning and improve the interaction between students and content. This paper aims to explore the uses of GenAI and immersive technologies in teaching practices, with a specific focus on Italian schools and universities. A review of the literature and state of the art was conducted, through the analysis of existing projects and case studies, in order to investigate how these joint technologies can enhance learning and address complex teaching challenges. Although the projects reviewed show a wide range of innovative applications that exploit GenAI and immersive technologies to enhance learning experiences, develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills, several challenges emerged in terms of accessibility and scalability of the tools.
