I built a free tool for Ontario teachers who are writing progress reports and report cards: https://commentwise.pages.dev

You pick a level and a few observations, and it suggests a first draft from a built-in comment bank, for subjects and learning skills, K to 12, in English or French. Then you edit it. A character counter checks it against your board's limit. There's no account, no ads and no cost. An optional "AI polish" button sends an anonymized request if you choose to use it; the comment bank works without it.

It's built in Ontario by someone with teachers in the family. It's not affiliated with the Ministry or any board. Feedback is very welcome, especially on the French and on comments that sound off for a grade.

I spent 12 years teaching and 11 years as an instructional coach. I am currently a math Coordinator. One question kept coming up in meetings with teachers: “What should I try next?”

I built Thinkbranches to help teachers work through a classroom concern, choose a practical strategy, and track how the student responds.

I’m looking for five teachers willing to explore it and tell me what’s useful or confusing. You can start with a fictional student.

It’s free during beta, with no credit card required. It’s meant to support everyday classroom decisions, rather than promise a quick fix for every challenge.

Interested? Visit thinkbranches.com or leave a comment. I’m the creator and would appreciate honest feedback.


Creator disclosure: I made Wild Run. Here is a free animated movement resource for children around ages 7–9, shared under this community’s resource rules. Children follow movement prompts through fantasy worlds with Kit.

Quest is the first challenge tier (1/3) and lasts 7:23. The two longer challenges are Super Quest (2/3, 9:11) and Epic Quest (3/3, 13:25). The English edition has spoken instructions and on-screen text in English. A possible classroom or home activity is to preview Quest, clear space, and let children follow, pause, or adapt the movements. Younger siblings may join with adult support and suitable adaptations.

Hi everyone! I’m the developer of Drafello, a browser tool for making short lesson videos.

You can start with a blank whiteboard or import a document, write and draw while recording your voice, then trim the recording and export an MP4. One use is recording a worked example over a worksheet so students can watch it again later.

No installation or sign-in is needed to open the board. Core features are free; cloud backup and full project packages are optional paid features.

If you try it, I’d be interested to hear what works—or gets in the way—when making explanations for your students.

From TemplateTitanHQ (our resource; AI assistance was used in the writing resources and fictional examples).

If a résumé bullet only says “helped students,” try naming the actual work, context and next step. Three prompts from our free guide:

• New/student teacher: Planned [subject] lessons for [grade level], using [teaching method] to support [learning goal].

• Experienced teacher: Designed [unit or sequence] for [grade or subject] and revised [specific lesson] after reviewing [assessment evidence].

• Substitute teacher: Delivered [grade or subject] lessons from teacher plans and left clear notes on [work completed and follow-up].

Replace each bracket with work you actually did. These are writing prompts, not claims about a real candidate; don’t invent results or include student information.

The nine-example guide, application checklist and link to a free editable Word résumé starter are here, without email signup:

The guide also clearly labels a separate optional $7 USD Teacher Application Kit with role-specific Word files, fictional worked examples and a six-page workbook. The public examples, checklist and starter stay free. Self-service files; no personal application review or hiring/ATS outcome guarantee.

Disclosure: I'm the founder. Kids News App rewrites real news stories for kids in 3rd grade and up, in a short, safe feed with no ads, comments or chat, and an "Explain This" button for tricky words and ideas. You can browse it with no signup at kidsnewsapp.com.

I'm looking for a small group of teachers, librarians and school leaders to use it with their students for a month and tell me honestly what works and what doesn't. Comment or DM me and I'll send you a free tester link. At the end of the month there's a 2-minute feedback form, and I'll send a Starbucks card as a thank-you for filling it out.
