Notes from AI work I want to find again
Blog index for notes Aaron wants to find again: classroom AI, tool tests, agent jobs, creator work, and workday fixes.
What I write about
Tool tests, classroom AI notes, and workday fixes I kept needing to look up again.
I use the blog for the notes I need to come back to: classroom AI, agent workflows, creator tools, podcasting, privacy, and the small details that decide whether I use a tool again.
The What I built today section keeps dated notes from the small systems and workday fixes I would otherwise forget by Friday.
Most posts start from something I tested or saw up close. A student using AI to make a reading finally click. A teacher trying to write a policy that will not fall apart in week two. A small agent job that saves someone from checking a noisy surface all day.
The archive is not meant to be a perfect curriculum. It is the working notebook. If a post has held up, I keep it. If a newer test changes the way I think, I add the next note.
