The rise of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) is reshaping the development of digital learning materials in general education. This paper focuses on analyzing the capabilities and establishing a process for applying GenAI to the design of digital learning materials for high school Geography. Employing literature synthesis and modeling as the primary research methods, the study demonstrates that GenAI not only supports diverse forms of digital material formats (including text, images, video, and audio) but also optimizes instructional activities throughout the instructional process. A key outcome of the study is a systematized nine-step practical process, providing a practical framework for Geography teachers to effectively leverage this technology. This provides a practical methodological contribution to promoting digital transformation and enhancing the pedagogical competence of Geography teachers in the current context of educational reform.
