Trigger · Every Sunday 8PM
Lesson prep starts automatically
The routine runs on schedule. It checks the syllabus, sees that Monday's topic is HTML Forms, and kicks off the preparation process with no manual input from the teacher.
Context · Connectors pull live data
Google Classroom and the grading sheet are read
Claude connects to Google Classroom to check last week's completion rates and reads the grading sheet to find which students scored below 70%. Google Drive is scanned for any submitted HTML files still pending review.
Context · Materials are generated
Quiz, exercise, and lesson summary ready in seconds
Using the syllabus and common mistake patterns, Claude creates a 10-question HTML Forms quiz with answer key, a hands-on coding exercise (build a contact form), and a short lesson summary for the board.
Steering · Teacher reviews before anything is sent
Approve, edit, or reject the draft
The teacher gets a clean draft to review. Adjust a question, reword the exercise instructions, or approve everything as-is. Nothing reaches students until the teacher says yes.
Trigger · Student submits HTML file
Submission lands in Google Drive, review starts instantly
When a student uploads their contact form HTML to the class Drive folder, the event triggers the agent. No need to check manually, it runs on its own.
Context · Code is checked
Agent reads the HTML and finds issues
Claude reviews the student's code for missing name attributes, wrong input types, unclosed tags. It writes feedback using hints, not direct answers, so students still have to think.
Steering · Score logged, teacher notified
Grading sheet updated, teacher reviews the summary
Score is written back to the grading sheet automatically. Teacher gets a one-line summary per student. Any submission flagged as needing attention is highlighted for a manual look.
Result · Autonomous Value
Teacher reviews for 10 minutes instead of working for 3 hours
Lesson prep, quiz creation, code review, and grade logging all happened automatically. The teacher focused on teaching, not paperwork. Students got feedback the same day they submitted.
