Plan your day

Start with a short daily planning ritual. Look over today's lessons, swap or shift whatever changed overnight, pull today's tasks out of the backlog and pick the time you're leaving. Then commit to the day — and stop re-planning it in your head.

Host lesson rooms anywhere, securely

Walk into any classroom and run the lesson from your phone. A six-digit pairing code from your laptop signs the phone in — no password typed in front of a class. Your lesson plan is right there during the lesson: hand out classwork, watch it come back, open the results, and pull up your slides and materials.

Sign-in on the phone with a six-digit pairing code A running lesson room on the phone: minutes left, classwork, materials and the students who joined Classwork progress on the phone: who has handed in, who is still working Classwork results on the phone with the share of correct answers per exercise

Give students immediate feedback

Worksheets and exit tickets are marked as they come in. Closed answers are checked against your key; open answers against your criteria, with a sentence of feedback in the student's own language. Students get up to three tries per exercise — so a wrong answer becomes a second look at the topic, not a red mark that arrives next week.

  • Saves your evening. Most of the marking is done before the bell.
  • Helps them understand. Feedback nudges towards what's missing without giving the answer away.
  • You stay in charge. Review any mark, override anything, see where the class struggled.

Go through the week with confidence

The week board shows every lesson and where it stands — ready to teach, still in progress, only a concept, or already taught with work waiting to be reviewed. What still needs preparing and what needs marking is visible at a glance, so you never drop a ball again.

The week board: taught lessons marked done, two with submissions to review, one ready, and tomorrow's still in progress, concept or to prepare

Organize class management with checklists

Every course keeps its own checklists, pinned as tabs next to the roster: attendance, permission slips, homework, reading logs — whatever used to live in the margins of a paper planner. Tick boxes, levels or short notes per student, and export any of them as CSV.

Close your day on time and take a minute to reflect

The shutdown ritual asks one thing per lesson you taught: how did it go, and what would you tell next year's you? The note is saved with the lesson, so it's waiting for you when you look back or teach it again. Wrap up today's tasks, close the day — and leave at the time you picked in the morning.
