About the newsletter
Every tool I build starts in a specific room, with a specific failure: students who will not ask questions, assessments that cannot scale, engagement that flattens by week six. The newsletter documents those problems before it documents any solution.
It covers assessment design, academic integrity, learning analytics, experiential learning, and how AI is changing what a classroom can reasonably ask of a student.
