In this episode, I share a quick introduction to vibe coding and five websites I recently built with the help of AI. You’ll also hear how I used Claude, Gemini, and Google Sites to turn simple ideas into working tools without traditional coding skills. If you want to try vibe coding and create a useful website, app, or classroom resource of your own, this episode has you covered!

Tips for Vibe Coding for Educators
- Start with a simple idea for a website, game, directory, or classroom tool.
- Describe what you want in everyday language and let an AI chatbot generate the code.
- Use follow-up prompts to adjust the design, features, and content.
- Publish the finished HTML code with a tool like Google Sites.
