Many teachers meet Claude as a blank chat box and never get past it a few queries. This short course takes a working project apart so you can explore more capabilities of Claude: instructions that keep the tool honest, a rule that protects your students, and the two account settings are often disregarded. Then you build your own. By the end you will have a project set up on purpose, ready for real work, and the habit of using AI to extend your thinking. Free, self-paced, and finished in under thirty minutes. Nothing to submit. The proof is the project sitting in your own account.
