Teach what algorithms can't: Micro-lessons for the unautomatable human capacities

Transparency Statement
The Pivot from Detection to Design
The Pain: AI detection tools create an adversarial climate. They treat students like suspects, and teachers like police. This system fails to cultivate genuine student agency strategies and merely forces students to be better at hiding their automation.
Our Philosophy: The solution isn't better detection; it's better inquiry. We must design learning experiences that demand the inherently human skills—empathy, moral reasoning, and personal connection—that a large language model cannot fake.
The Tool: The Unautomatable AI tool uses the Ten Unautomatable Human Capacities framework to instantly generate micro-lessons and inquiry prompts that are resistant to automated answers. Reclaim your planning time for connecting with your students, and knowing that your assignments are genuinely teaching critical thinking.
We are not a black-box corporation. We are an open-source research initiative. You deserve to know exactly how this tool works.
Model: Gemini Flash (Latest). Chosen for its speed, strong reasoning, and efficiency for quick lesson generation.
Privacy: No student data is stored. Inputs are ephemeral. We do not build profiles on students or schools.
Pedagogy: Hard-coded with the 10 Unautomatable Human Capacities framework. Our logic is based on developmental psychology, not random internet data.
Ethical Design Logic: The "Micro-Lesson Bridge." Ensures the output is developmentally scaled and integrates into existing academic standards for maximum teacher feasibility.
Common Questions & Ethical Commitments
-
Yes, this tool is completely free. Connected Classroom is a non-profit, open-source research initiative. We do not sell subscriptions or charge for access. Our mission is to provide an ethical alternative to commercial EdTech.
-
The assignments generated are unautomatable by design. They require moral imagination, personal reflection, and synthesis of real-world or emotionally complex scenarios that a large language model cannot fake. The goal is to elevate the inquiry, not police the output.
-
Absolutely not. We are committed to AI ethics for schools. User inputs (grade level, topic) are processed transiently to generate the lesson and are immediately discarded. We never store, track, or build profiles on users or students.
-
This tool uses the "Micro-Lesson Bridge" logic. It identifies the specific point where your academic standard requires a human capacity and generates a 15-minute insert that fits seamlessly into your existing lesson plan.
-
The tool was built by Timothy Cook, M.Ed., an educator first. The design is informed by his research into student cognition and AI dependency, as featured in his Psychology Today column, ensuring pedagogical rigor over corporate metrics.
