This made the personalized coaching tool more customized and cheaper compared to commercial options.<\/li>\n<li>Although tools created by vibe coding can be glitchier and have potential security issues, Cantonwine has worked closely with the district\u2019s tech experts to mitigate these risks.<\/li>\n<li>The use of LessonLens is optional and not included in teachers\u2019 performance evaluations to ensure teachers feel comfortable using it without the fear of being monitored for supervisory purposes.<\/li>\n<li>Cantonwine developed LessonLens using a non-technical coding route which helped craft a uniquely Peninsula education resource and highlighted potential areas for further improvement.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Homegrown AI Coach Critiques Teachers on Their Lessons.
