So, the teaching tool you need doesn’t exist?
Okay.
Let's Build It.
But, First — Does This Sound Familiar?
You find an online tool that’s almost right for the learning experience you want to give your students — but it’s too complex, too expensive, or requires your students to create an account just to use it. So, you settle — or you just go without it.
Here’s what most educators don’t realize yet: If you can describe the tool you need, you can build it with AI.
In a one-hour Build It Session, we’ll work together to create a working, classroom-ready tool in your own free or paid Claude account. And we’ll do it using nothing but conversation.
No coding. No subscriptions. No IT request.
And when we’re done, you won’t just have a tool. You’ll know how to build the next one yourself.
What Happens in a Build It Session?
We’ll spend the first few minutes getting clear on what tool you need and what you want your students to do with it. Then we’ll build it together in real time — you driving, me navigating. We’ll test it, refine it, and get it deployed to a shareable link before we’re done.
You’ll leave with three things:
A Functioning, Classroom-Ready Tool
You’ll have a tool built to your exact specifications, designed for your students, and tested before we wrap up our session.
A Shareable Link You Can Use Immediately
No downloads. No need for time-consuming sign ups. Zero friction. Your students will be able to access your tool in one click.
The Knowledge to Build Future Tools
You’ll understand the process well enough to describe, build, test, and refine your next tool all by yourself — or with a colleague.
What Can We Build in an Hour?
Build It Sessions are designed for focused, single-purpose tools — the kind you can describe in a sentence and use in class the following week.
Good Fits
Role-play or scenario practice tools
Simple interactive quizzes
Structured reflection or feedback activities
Concept review exercises
Drag-and-drop interactive learning tools (like wireframe builders, sorting activities, visual organizers, etc.)
Simple persona or case study builders
Not Such Great Fits (For Now.)
Multi-page applications
Tools requiring databases or user accounts
Anything that needs to connect to external platforms

Hey! I'm Michele!
Michele Lashley, to be more specific.
I’m a strategic communications professor with somewhere around 20 years in the classroom. (I lost count after 19.)
During this time, I’ve been obsessed with one question: What makes learning genuinely engaging?
AI has opened up possibilities I couldn’t have imagined even a few years ago. It’s allowed me to build custom coaches, interactive simulations, and hands-on learning tools that specifically address my students’ needs.
The Build It Sessions are how I share what I’ve learned with other educators. And I’d love to help you build a learning tool you want — but haven’t been able to find yet.

What You Need: A Claude or ChatGPT account, a browser, and one classroom problem you’re ready to solve (If you want to build a custom GPT, you’ll need a paid ChatGPT Plus account.)
