What's Safe to Build and Share With Students

AI can help you build things for students quickly. A little care keeps it safe and appropriate.

Don’t paste student data

Treat AI chats like a public space. Don’t paste student names, grades, IEP details, or anything you wouldn’t put on a hallway bulletin board. When you need to use real work - say, for grading help - remove names first.

Review everything before it reaches students

AI can be confidently wrong. Read every quiz question, fact, and example before it goes in front of a class. You’re the editor; nothing ships without your read.

Single HTML files are a safe way to share interactive content

When Claude builds you a game or activity as a single HTML file, it runs entirely in the browser with no accounts, logins, or data collection. You can open it on a classroom computer, host it on your school’s site, or share the file directly. Nothing about a student is sent anywhere.

Check your school’s policy

Districts vary on which tools are approved and what student information may be used. When in doubt, build with no student data and check before adopting a tool widely.

Model good habits

If older students use AI too, show them the same discipline: cite when it helps, verify facts, and never share personal information. You’re teaching judgment as much as content.
