Thanks a lot Alicia!!! Great to hear from you. Claude is so much fun. Students do love their links. Know that whenever you feel like writing a post about your classroom, I’d be excited to publish.
I can relate to the "limited messages forcing you to get creative" aspect. I'm experiencing it now with free Claude, which only has about 6-7 messages every half a day or so. Not only does this force me to be efficient with my own prompts, but I also try to nudge Claude to output a more thorough response, since no matter how short/long it is, it'll count as a single message. It's actually a bit like a fun puzzle to try and solve.
Another great piece Nick. Just getting back into the groove myself after a dream summer. What a valuable nudge for all teachers at the start of the year! It will be interesting to see how students' behaviours evolve. Planning to get them hooked on claude.ai. Last year, many preferred you.com or perplexity.ai over chatgpt because of the links they provide. Interesting eh?
This new wrinkle in teaching and learning for you, Nick, brought on by new tools for teaching and learning strengthened your stance toward your students. You’re shifting from a focus on teaching to a focus on learning, and your eyes are wide open. Assessment is research, not evaluation. Teachers who learn from their students renew their credential class by class. Who ya’ gonna believe? Dr. P. or the bot? Dr. P. Shows his learners the bot can be a great tool on the job, but it’s no replacement for your brain.
I wrote that AI was authorized in my syllabus for my master's level project managment course as long as they acknowleged it's use and wrote a quick blurb about whether it was helpful or not. I figure if I invite it they have no reason to hide it.

I love the shortcut/springboard distinction. Thanks for writing.
Great piece.
