Added a timer and sleep mode which fades the audio and warms the colours over the final 5 mins. Study mode does the opposite which brightens and ramps up at the end.

As a teacher, observing how students work through revising and dealing with their stress can be difficult. I have found they can't focus enough to learn the thing they're stressed about not knowing.

To help them I built an iOS app called Pendulum Wave.

[Mike @mikeisteaching]

Pendulums of different lengths swing across a beam. Each strikes a tuned note as it crosses centre. Over a period of time they drift in and out of phase, waves, fans, patterns.

13 scales including Japanese pentatonics: Hirajoshi, Iwato, Kumoi, Yo.

Built with @claudeai using Claude Code. Part of a wider system I've been developing for my students over the past few months. #AIinEducation #MusicTechnology #claudecode

Playing around with an idea: create interactive resources where key phrases expand into the deeper technical detail right in context, such as when my A level students read about synthesis.

[Mike @mikeisteaching]

Added an "I get it" / "still confused" button (see video). If a student clicks "still confused" I get notified, this helps the ones who won't ask questions in front of their peers.

@C_Hendrick @C_Hendrick I have a huge amount of respect for you but this research paper uses an outdated model (ChatGPT 3.5) for their findings. Might be worth looking at where LLMs are now.

Built a published Obsidian vault for my students using Claude Code. It automatically linked interactive flashcards, NotebookLM, specs, and real examples across multiple topics.

Built an Obsidian vault for my student-with links, lesson summaries, and book recommendations-using Claude AI + Claude Code.

From idea to creating content to working vault in 90 mins.

Is this the future of curriculum design?!?

3/
Students can now:
📘 Catch up on missed lessons
📚 Browse suggested reading
🧭 Navigate weekly plans & objectives
🧵 Everything is tagged, templated, and expandable

The hub is still evolving — but the framework is solid.

Gave Claude Code two PDFs:
-Overall grade boundaries
-Component-level boundaries
Then asked to create a CSV file of the data, it handled formatting, removed junk rows, & organised by year. This isn’t about replacing teachers, it’s about giving us time back. #claudecode #Teaching

[Mike @mikeisteaching]

As GCSE results are released today, I used Claude Code to extract GCSE grade boundaries from PDFs and turn them into CSV files-across multiple years & components. AI saves time where it matters. #Teaching #claudecode

[Mike @mikeisteaching]

I used Claude Code to turn raw A-level results, PDFs & CSVs into:

✅ Clean spreadsheets
✅ Coursework & exam breakdowns
✅ Multi-year analysis

All in minutes—not hours. AI just became my new data assistant.

Just turned a CSV of my book collection into an auto-tagged, topic-linked teaching library with Claude Code + Obsidian.

Now every A-level Music Tech topic has its own reading list, key chapters, and matched assignments. No coding. Just files + prompts. #Obsidian #claudecode
