I’ve fallen in love with vibe coding. Teachers can now create their own tools and games just by describing them to AI. That’s incredibly empowering.

My Vibing with AI workshop starts tomorrow:

Tip Tuesday! When you’re feeling overwhelmed, pause your brain’s alarm response and start organizing the information instead. Tell yourself, “I need to decide what matters most and go slow.”

Valen-Times Factor-y Work on a chocolate factory line by matching multiplication facts. The conveyor speeds up, mistakes cost Quality Passes, and your goal is to finish as many boxes as you can before your shift ends.

I think students in grades 3–8 would enjoy practicing multiplication with this game. They fill heart-shaped boxes with the right chocolates as they solve facts. #EduSky
