One small hack that might be useful. If you have access to magicschool (or some other student facing AI tool) and want to give them (fully optional) review bots for them to get review for tests etc, and you have claude pro (for educators it's free this year!).

No shit, I have been laughing at this image for the past 5 minutes. Actual tears streaming down my face. Sure man, put one of these in my kid's classroom. See how that goes.

Nine years ago I wrote a series on my classroom "top four."
What has changed in my teaching since then? (Spoiler: Still using vertical whiteboards, still using anonymous feedback, still got love for the streets).

How are high school students using Generative AI?
I analyzed anonymous feedback from my Precalculus and AP Computer Science classes this year. Here’s what I found about how students are integrating AI tools into their learning workflows:

More and more I think we're at a crossroads with teaching CS and AI. Working with agentic AI lately, I’ve noticed I barely touch code anymore. But knowing the mechanics of how the program works in the background? Irreplaceable.
