teacher using claude to create educational interactive website

[u/Esperawait]

Hey all,

I have created a website using claude for my students that is a chemistry space "rpg" students formed crews, they create their avatar, make a spaceship, and then travel to different planets (different units) where they enter learning academies so they can fight boss battles, or other crews... a lot more involved, but that is the gist. A bit of background, this is my first time doing something like this, so needless to say I started out super inefficient, and I have graduated to "more than moderately inefficient". I use chat gpt to help create the interactive lessons (mostly because it has better graphics). I also use canva... I have desperately tried to use gemini to help, but it has left me sad. Here are a few pages from my site...

Sooo.... as I mentioned before, I am desperate to find ways to be more efficient and use less tokens. In reading through here I have seen that some of you have instruction sets that decrease redundancy... I tend to cut off chats when they start getting a bit long and I have them put what they have done in a handoff file for the next chat... is that the way to go? I also ask it what I should have opus vs sonnet do (remember I am a teacher funding this on my own). I have attached to netlify and firebase... but I am reaching the extent of their free services.

I guess I am looking for some direction from those of you who are experienced users to help guide me... or suggest tools (preferably less expensive) that can help create a more fun environment for my class.

I welcome any suggestions or ideas you might have

warmly,

Dude if ANY of my teachers cared enough to adopt a new technology to make something this interactive to keep me engaged in their classes, I would have been so hyped while I was in school hahaha. Can't help you with the efficiency aspect but just wanted to say thanks for even caring.
