Claude is an AI assistant made by Anthropic, available through Claude Desktop — a free app for Mac and Windows. Free Period is a plugin that extends Claude Desktop with 42 teaching-specific tools and 13 skills. Think of Claude as the brain, Free Period as the teaching expertise.
Yes. Free Period never requires student data to function. The free tools run entirely inside your Claude account. Pro's Canvas integration uses your existing permissions and encrypted connections — we never store student data on our servers.
We'd love to work with your school or district. Reach out to us at info@ai4teachers.co and we'll put together a custom plan for your team.
Free Period supports three platforms: Canvas LMS, Google Workspace, and Microsoft 365. Buy only the integrations you need, or get all three. The 13 teaching skills work regardless of which platform you use.
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is how Claude Desktop connects to external services. An .mcpb file is a plugin you download and double-click to install. It gives Claude the ability to talk directly to Canvas, Google, or Microsoft on your behalf.
The free commands work with any Claude account. The Pro toolkit requires Claude Pro ($20/month from Anthropic) plus the Claude Desktop app (free download). Free Period itself is a one-time $59 purchase — no subscription to us.
