I've been teaching since 2017 and I build all my lessons from my own curriculum and classroom experience. I use AI to assist with the technical production (the HTML, CSS, and JavaScript that make the interactivity work), but the content, question design, scaffolding, and pedagogy are mine. I review everything before it goes out, and if you spot anything that needs fixing, just let me know and I'll sort it.
