Step-by-step guides to the tools. Each one starts with the quickest way to get going, then covers the rest.
// In the classroom
- Using the Character VectoriserTurn a letter, word, symbol or emoji into an SVG file sized in millimetres, ready to import into Tinkercad for 3D printing.
- Using the Flashcard MakerTurn a word list into printable, double-sided flashcards, with your own colours, header and footer.
- Using the Group MakerSplit a class into groups in seconds, keep certain students together or apart, and save or print the result.
- Using the Name TrainerLearn a new class's names from their photos with flip cards, quizzes and matching games, and see which names still need practice.
- Using the Python PlaygroundWrite and run Python in the browser, on a laptop or an iPad, with nothing to install. Set it up for a class, and help students get unstuck.
- Using the QR GeneratorMake QR codes for lesson links, handouts and displays, add your school logo, and keep them all in one place.
- Using the Random PickerPick students at random, make sure everyone gets a turn, and show the next name on the board.
- Using the Seating Plan BuilderDraw your room, seat a class in it, lock the seats you want to keep, and print the plan.
// Planning & content
- Using the Daily JournalKeep one private note for each school day, format it as you type, and find an old entry by a word or a date.
- Using the Image ConverterTurn iPhone photos into pictures every device can open, shrink a folder of photos before you upload them, and download the lot in one go.
- Using the Resource LibrarySave the web links you use in lessons with notes and tags, then find them again by title or topic.
- Using the Text DifferentiatorCheck the reading level of a passage and rewrite it for younger or older readers, using an AI model that runs on this device.
// Reports & admin
- Using the Data AnonymiserSwap student names, dates of birth, IDs and email addresses in a spreadsheet for realistic fake ones, so you can use the data with an AI tool.
- Using the Prompt MaskerSwap student names, email addresses and phone numbers for placeholders before you use an outside AI tool, then put the real details back in the reply.
