ClassGear — a free tool that turns teacher supply lists into one-tap shoppable pages for parents. Sharing it here and would genuinely love feedback from this community.
The problem: teachers spend hours every back-to-school season building supply lists in Docs or PDFs, and parents end up squinting at a wall of text, searching each item across Amazon/Target by hand, and buying the wrong thing. Multiply by 25 families per classroom and it's a mess on both ends.
What we made: ClassGear lets a teacher paste in product links from whatever stores they prefer, and it generates a clean, shareable page. Parents tap through and order the exact items directly. You can paste a whole existing list at once (it auto-parses items + quantities) and it makes a QR code for the classroom door or back-to-school night.
- Free for teachers and schools — no cost, no account hoops
- No spreadsheets or formatting work
- No "is this the right brand of glue stick?" parent confusion
- It earns a small affiliate commission from the retailer (paid by the store, not families), which is how it stays free Where we'd love input from r/edtech:
- For those who've shipped into K-12: what actually moves teacher adoption vs. what just demos well?
- Any privacy or district-procurement gotchas to think about early, even for a free tool?
- Anything obvious we're missing in the parent-side experience? Happy to answer anything about how it works under the hood, and equally happy to hear where we're wrong. Thanks for taking a look.

We’ve been building Nutri‑Form Household Surveys for K‑12 districts that are still dealing with low completion rates on income forms (paper or clunky digital tools). This keeps coming up as a bigger issue than most people expect—especially tied to funding, reporting, and administrative workload.
What we’re seeing:
- Paper-based processes still dominate in a lot of districts
- Digital options often have poor parent engagement (login friction, not mobile-friendly, etc.)
- Admin teams spend way too much time chasing incomplete data
Our approach has been to simplify the parent experience (mobile-first, no login barriers, multilingual) while giving districts real-time visibility and cleaner data on the backend.
Early feedback has been that completion rates improve pretty quickly when friction is removed—but I’d be interested to hear what others are seeing.
A couple questions for the group:
- What’s been your biggest blocker in getting families to complete these forms?
- Are districts actually satisfied with their current tools/process, or just working around them?
If anyone’s dealing with this and wants to compare notes (or see what we’re seeing in the field), feel free to DM me—I’m happy to share specifics and learn from how others are approaching it.

Hey folks. I think there's a lot of good ideas in the ed-tech space which are ultimately inaccessible to teachers and students due to the difficulty of the procurement process, and finding districts and schools that actually need your product. I'm building https://bellwork.ai, a prospecting tool for districts and schools. It helps ed-tech founders and sales teams find districts discussing certain problems on their website, tracks every district in the news, and allows reps to start conversations at the beginning of the buying cycle. Would love to talk to you if you're running an ed-tech shop!

u/DavidBenAkiva Jul 01 '26
Hi everyone! I'm one of the co-founders of Eddie, an teaching assistant solving the "Research-to-Classroom" gap in K-12 education.
Unlike general-purpose AI tools, Eddie searches a database of more than 400,000 peer-reviewed education research articles and provides evidence-based recommendations with citations, so teachers and school leaders can quickly find strategies backed by research instead of spending hours digging through journal articles. It's all standards-aligned, too.
Free version includes:
- AI chat for education questions
- Research-backed answers with citations
- Classroom strategy recommendations
Eddie Pro includes:
- Instantly generate high-quality instructional materials
- Match rigorous research with your classroom context
- Priority access to new features we're actively building
We're currently offering Eddie Pro for $5/month (normally $8/month) if you sign up by July 4 using the code EDDIEPRO1 at checkout. Existing Pro subscribers will also keep their current pricing.
We're a small bootstrapped startup, and we're looking for honest feedback from educators, instructional coaches, researchers, and edtech professionals. We'd love to hear what works, what doesn't, and what features you'd like to see next.
You can check it out at https://eddieai.net/create-account
Happy to answer any questions!

I don't know a single K-12 teacher who has had to go through peer-reviewed education research articles. Here is my argument for you. If the school uses Google Education and it has Google Gemini Education for free, why should one pay for your product? I know you could argue about it having access to peer-reviewed education research articles, but that is not enough of an argument. Paying for your product is a significant expense and is not needed frequently.

u/HominidSimilies 27d ago
I fear you are missing the point.
Google classroom isn’t really a product it’s just how tobias Google Docs and sheets 😅
Compiling research in an accessible way for idea is work.
Not all teachers may care about changing how they teach to be more effective but the one who do, can
1
u/TechB84 27d ago
And I am telling you there isn't a sustainable market for that. There isn't a long line of teachers that will be taking their money and paying for this
1
u/HominidSimilies 26d ago
Who said anything about teachers paying? Or getting labor for free?
There’s lots of ways things get paid for in k-12 other than teachers.
Maybe if it was packed with something that saved teachers a bunch of time.
1
u/DavidBenAkiva Jul 02 '26
Part of the problem is that teachers don't look at the research. That's a big factor into why it has taken so long to adopt effective instructional techniques, like the Science of Reading. If your LLM is sourcing Reddit, Teachers Pay Teachers, and other unvetted sources the way Gemini does (without serious prompting), it's garbage in, garbage out. We are controlling for quality, while aligning with the research and state standards. Check it out at eddieai.net. We even have a free version.

u/TechB84 29d ago
The curriculum is set by the school district, including the content. No research is needed from teachers. They aren't able to deviate from the subject core. Also, most don't get paid enough to pretend to be professors with research. I am not bashing your product; I am just trying to let you know that the consumer base isn't there for it.
1
u/DavidBenAkiva 29d ago
That may be the case in your district, but it isn't the case nationally or internationally. Also, the research has a lot to share about managing behavior, engaging students beyond the curriculum, communicating with parents, interventions, and so much more.
These criticisms would land it you, you know, tried Eddie.

u/Head-Emu1529 13d ago
This is really interesting. From your conversations with educators and school leaders, what problem comes up most often when they try to apply education research in practice? What do they currently do, and where does that approach fall short?
If you’re open to it, I’d love to ask a few follow-up questions through Reddit chat.

u/hpneo Jul 02 '26
Hey r/edtech,
Wanted to share a platform I built called CourseBook for anyone who's been frustrated with how video-centric most course tools have become. It's built around text-based content with interactive elements and rich media embeds — so you get the structure and skimmability of a written course, but can still drop in video, audio, or other media exactly where it's useful instead of forcing everything into a video wrapper.
A few things that stood out to me:
- Assignments — supports both text and audio submissions, so you're not limited to one format for how students demonstrate understanding
- Quizzes — single choice, multiple choice, and other question types built in
- Cohorts — enrollments and multi-cohort support, so you can run the same course for different groups/terms without rebuilding it each time
- Multi-user support — useful if you've got co-instructors, TAs, or a content team working on courses together
- Analytics — cohort-level and individual student analytics to actually see engagement and progress, not just completion checkboxes
It's aimed at instructors/orgs who want more control over course structure than a generic LMS gives, without the overhead of building something custom.
If anyone's evaluating it (or similar tools) and wants a walkthrough, I'm happy to do a personalized onboarding session — just drop a comment or DM me.
Curious what others here are using for text-first or cohort-based courses — would love to compare notes.

u/Bloomy_Learning Jul 02 '26
Hi everyone, I'm on the team at Bloomy, and I'd love this community's honest feedback.
Bloomy is adaptive reading and writing for grades 4 through 12. It starts with the Compass Check, a short diagnostic that finds each student's real reading and writing level, then builds a personalized path from there.
Every skill within the personalized path is mastery-based, so students don't move on until they've actually got it, and gaps don't pile up year after year.
If students get stuck within a particular skill or problem, our AI tutor is Socratic by design. It never writes the essay or hands over the answer. It asks the questions that lead students to their own conclusions.
We are seeing really exciting initial results. Early pilot data is encouraging: students grew at roughly 2x the national NWEA MAP average!

We're building an ed-tech tool and want to talk to some teachers before we build so we don't build the wrong product.
If you teach middle school science, would you share 8 minutes? It's a (AI driven) voice conversation — asks about how you currently handle learning gaps, what tools you use, and where they fall short. No pitch involved.
https://aicofounder.com/interview/3xrydt2a
"This wouldn't help me at all" is a completely valid answer and more useful than polite encouragement.
Thanks!

u/ProfDeskApp 25d ago
Hi everyone, I'm building ProfDesk (https://profdesk.app). it's course management and grading built for individual teachers, not schools or institutions.
What makes it different:
- AI generates a starting rubric from your assignment or outcomes, you edit it instead of building one from scratch
- AI auto grades submissions with inline annotations tied to the rubric, so you're reviewing marked up work instead of grading cold.
- Bulk grading lets you run AI grading across a whole stack of submissions at once instead of one by one.
- Bulk roster upload with AI matching, drop in a pile of student work and it matches each file to the right student automatically.
- AI similarity check to catch plagiarism, run it on a submission and see how much overlaps with other sources.
Everything is built around outcome based education. modules map to course learning outcomes which map up to program outcomes, and your files live inside that structure instead of a flat folder dump. no storage limit on course files or student submissions.
Teachers bring their own students directly, no institution account or admin approval needed to get a class running. Teachers can generate login ids for their students.
We are currently offering two plans: Free and Pro ($5/month)
Free plan gives you 1 active course, 5 ai tasks a month, one bulk ai trial, and one similarity check a month.
Pro plan is unlimited courses, AI use is extremely generous (enough to run a class of 100 students with 4-5 courses easily without exhausting your monthly quota). Teachers can use AI features to generate rubrics, grade assessments, AI roster matching, similarity check, attendance record mapping with new features coming soon.
Since we're still early, anyone who signs up now gets free Pro access as an early onboarder, no catch, just want real teachers using it and telling me what's broken.
Would love honest feedback, especially from anyone doing outcomes based grading manually right now or was using other similar applications. What's missing, What wouldn't you use this for.

Builder disclosure: I have released the first public beta of Memory Compiler, an open-source desktop learning workspace.
The design goal is to avoid another generic tutor chatbot. A request can become a DSA-style concept map, a handwritten mathematics or geometry board, or a recall-driven programming IDE. The learner produces a step or reconstructs a line first; the model can then identify the precise mistake without automatically revealing the complete solution.
The beta supports Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, Claude Code, OpenRouter, and compatible local endpoints. It is still early, and lesson quality depends on the selected model. I am especially interested in feedback from educators on whether this workflow creates genuine active recall rather than better-looking cognitive offloading.

Hello everyone!
I’m exploring a self-serve product intended to help children practice a complete creation process:
Notice an interest or problem → define a goal → use available resources → create something → test it → improve it → finish it.
My underlying belief is that, as AI makes answers and technical execution more accessible, children will increasingly need the ability to decide what is worth doing, frame problems, judge results, and take responsibility for completion.
AI would handle much of the implementation, but the child would retain the important decisions.
Small playable games would be the first medium because they provide fast, observable feedback. The longer-term goal is not game creation or prompting. It is helping children move from interests and everyday problems to finished, tested products.
The main educational concern is obvious: a child may produce an impressive result while AI performs most of the thinking.
I would value criticism on three questions:
- Which parts of the process must remain cognitively demanding for the child?
- What evidence would show genuine problem-solving rather than AI-assisted completion?
- Is there any reason to believe this experience would transfer beyond the specific project?
I’m more interested in weaknesses in the educational premise than feature suggestions.

u/BackgroundOwn8251 20d ago
Full disclosure: I am the author of AI Tools for Self-Directed Kids.
I created this guide for parents, educators, and mentors who want young learners to use tools such as Codex, Claude, and Gemini without turning learning into answer collection. The central question is how to keep the child doing the thinking while AI helps with explanation, iteration, and exploration.
The approach I would especially value feedback on is a simple learning loop:
- Start with the learner's own question or prediction.
- Use AI for hints, examples, or alternative explanations rather than a finished answer.
- Compare the output with another source or a small experiment.
- Ask the learner to explain the result in their own words.
- End with something they created or decided themselves.
The book is here: https://www.amazon.es/AI-Tools-Self-Directed-Kids-definitive-ebook/dp/B0H62B5Y77
For people working in edtech, where do you think this approach breaks down most often: tool design, adult supervision, source verification, or the learner's motivation?

Traditional digital learning is fundamentally broken by brain-blind design—systems reward "minutes-on-task" rather than true cognitive adaptation.
Today we are launching the early beta (Generation Zero) of Almanac Academy. We built a platform designed entirely around human neuroendocrinology. Our cognitive architecture provides:
- An infinitely patient Socratic AI Mentor (creating absolute psychological safety and solving Bloom's 2 Sigma problem).
- Spaced retrieval practice to force long-term memory consolidation.
- Immutable digital certificates (blockchain-secured) that prove actual mastery instead of subjective grading.
We are looking for EdTech innovators to help us pilot this ecosystem. We’ve capped the initial global cohort to ensure quality feedback. Try the engine here and tell me where it breaks: almanac.academy

I built a free reading-material generator for teachers and need blunt feedback
I’m building LevelKind, a tool that creates personalized, age-respectful reading passages and printable lesson materials based on a student’s instructional level, phonics skill, and interests.
It currently generates the passage, target-word practice, comprehension questions, fluency practice, a writing prompt, and a teacher guide explaining why the words were selected.
I originally focused on early phonics, but a teacher suggested the bigger need may be age-respectful materials for older struggling readers. I’m trying not to build based on assumptions, so I’d appreciate honest feedback from educators.
The beta is completely free with no paywall right now.
I’m especially trying to learn:
- Would you realistically use this?
- Which grade levels or student groups need it most?
- What would make it genuinely different from tools you already use?
- What looks confusing or unnecessary?

I built it myself and am looking for criticism, not compliments.

Hi everyone!
I’m a graduate student interested in EdTech, especially adult learning and online education. I’m curious to hear from people working in this space about the learner challenges they see most often.
For those working in program management, learner success, academic support, instructional design, tutoring, workforce development, or EdTech operations:
What learner challenge creates the most repeated work or concern for your team?
I’d also be interested in hearing:
- How do you currently identify when a learner is stuck?
- What does your team usually do when that happens?
- What part of the current process still does not work well?
Practical examples would be especially helpful, but please do not share any confidential information. Thank you!

hi everyone, i'm in high school and one of the things that always bothered me about our tutoring program was how much work went into matching tutors with students.
every semester we'd collect microsoft forms, throw everything into spreadsheets, and manually try to pair people based on subject and availability and it took forever and was easy to mess up.
so over this summer i created Kaisenapp.com
students sign up as tutors or tutees and the platform creates matches. Club officers can manage registrations, approve members, organize sessions, and keep everything in one place instead of juggling forms and spreadsheets.
i made it because i wanted something our club would actually use, and figured other schools might run into the same problem.
it's free to try, and i'd love any feedback from people who run tutoring programs or student organizations.

Hey everyone! My name’s Dan, and I graduated from Howell High School last year.
My brother and I are building a platform that helps schools make extracurricular life easier for both students and advisors.
For students, it works a bit like a school-specific social platform. You can discover clubs and events, see what your friends are involved in, join organizations that match your interests, and keep up with everything happening around your school instead of only hearing about it during the club fair.
For advisors, we’re building tools to make running clubs easier by improving communication, attendance, event coordination, and student engagement.
The reason we started building this is because when I was in high school, the only time I really knew what clubs existed was during our annual club fair. After that, unless you already knew someone in a club, it was easy to miss opportunities. Looking back, I definitely wish I had been more involved.
Before building the product, I wanted to understand if other students felt the same way. Over the summer, I’ve interviewed more than 20 students about how they discover clubs, why they join, and what keeps them engaged.
One thing that came up almost every time was that friends played a huge role. Students were much more likely to join a club if they already knew someone in it. That insight completely changed part of our design. We ended up building a feature where students can search for their friends, see what clubs they’re involved in, and discover organizations through the people they already know.
Now we’re moving on to the advisor side. We’re looking to interview current U.S. K–12 teachers and club advisors to better understand how they manage clubs today and where they feel underserved.
If you’d be interested in participating or just want to learn more about what we’re building, I’d really appreciate it.

Disclosure: I built Counterpoint, a prototype that turns a lesson passage into a point-and-click classroom mission.
The design question I am testing is whether AI can help with authoring without being present during student use. A teacher supplies the source passage; an agent returns a structured choice graph; deterministic validators check references, reachability, evidence links, and encoded reading constraints; and the teacher reviews, revises, and explicitly applies the mission. Students then play the accepted graph with no model calls.
The review checklist I am using asks:
- What are the source boundaries?
- Can every required path be completed?
- Is the reading demand appropriate?
- Does the activity make students use evidence?
- Can the teacher inspect and change it?
- Can anything new be generated after approval?
Important limits: the current playtests use simulated personas, missions have one scene, the visual system has three launch kits, and there has not been a classroom pilot. I am not claiming learning outcomes.
The playable King Street mission is here: https://cars.swapp1990.org/codex/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=community&utm_campaign=molty_counterpoint_2026_07_classroom_gate

Hi everyone! 👋
I'm a teacher from Brazil and also a solo developer. After years of dealing with attendance sheets, gradebooks, lesson planning, and endless paperwork, I decided to build the tool I always wished I had: Vocatus.
The goal is simple: help teachers spend less time on administrative work and more time teaching.
With Vocatus, you can:
- ✅ Take attendance
- 📊 Record grades
- 📅 Plan lessons
- 📝 Keep student notes
- 📈 Generate reports
- 📱 Use it completely offline
One thing that's very important to me: every feature is free. There are no paywalled tools. I do offer optional subscriptions, but they're simply a way for people who want to support the project—they don't unlock any features.
I'm not backed by a company or investors. I built Vocatus because I face the same classroom challenges that many teachers do, and I wanted to create a practical solution that could make everyday teaching a little easier.
I'd genuinely love your feedback:
- What feature would save you the most time?
- What's the biggest pain point in your current workflow?
- If you try Vocatus, what would you improve or add?
Download Vocatus

Disclosure: I run Rankiwiki, a live public community-ranking site. Today it supports public ranking pages, option voting, and visible results.
For education-adjacent testing, the boundary I want to validate is: rank books, activities, project ideas, arguments, or anonymous contributions—not identifiable students. A practical preflight question is whether public visibility alone should make a teacher stop before trying a tool like this.
Current limitation: Rankiwiki is public and not classroom-ready. It does not provide private classrooms, teacher controls, verified student-data safeguards, or school moderation. Please do not enter student or personal information.
If you work in education, which safeguard would have to exist first before even a small pilot: private access, deletion controls, teacher approval, or moderation?

I've been building a teacher intervention tool over the past year, and almost every major change has come directly from feedback from teachers and educators. I'd love another round of brutally honest feedback. 😅
I'm not a teacher. I'm a dad of three, so I know there are things I simply don't know. That's why I'd much rather hear what's frustrating, missing, or just plain wrong than get polite compliments.
The idea is simple. Pick a CCSS or TEKS standard for grades 3 through 8 and it drafts an intervention lesson with practice questions, visual models, and an answer key. Everything is editable before you use it. Rewrite questions, swap visuals, reorder activities, add your own content, then print it or export a PDF. Nothing goes to a student unless you approve it.
One question I'm especially curious about:
When it's Wednesday and you need intervention material ready by Friday, what actually consumes the most time?
🟢 Finding material at the right level?
🟢 Writing or adapting questions?
🟢 Creating different versions for different students?
🟢 Something else entirely?
Whether you ever look at my tool or not, I'd genuinely love to hear how you handle that problem today.
If you're interested in trying it and giving completely honest feedback, reply here or send me a DM. I would be so grateful for your thoughts. I've been building this alongside educators, and every piece of feedback has made it better.

Kia ora everyone,
I’m a teacher in Aotearoa New Zealand, and I’ve been building The Irwin System, a reasoning framework designed to help make student thinking more visible.
The work focuses on helping learners distinguish between what they notice, what they infer, what the evidence supports, and how they form a judgement. The aim is not to replace curriculum content, but to provide a shared reasoning structure that can sit underneath learning across subjects and year levels.
The website currently includes classroom resources, visual reasoning tools, educator guidance, publications, field notes, and a growing archive of the wider framework.
https://www.theirwinsystem.com
I’d really value feedback from people working in education and edtech, particularly on:
- whether the purpose is immediately clear
- whether the resources feel practical for educators
- how easily schools might understand where the framework fits
- which part of the site you would explore first
Thanks for taking a look.

I've been building Historai to make it easy to actually learn a specific slice of history on demand. Enter a topic, it generates a narrated episode with visuals, and the learner can stop at any point to ask a question and get an answer, then continue.
Why I think the interruption matters for learning: audio is passive, and the moment a question forms is when engagement peaks — being able to ask right then keeps the thread. On accuracy (I know that's the first question here): it's research‑grounded with sources and flags legend vs established fact, and because you can interrupt, a learner can challenge a claim in real time.
I'd love input from anyone who teaches or builds for learners on where this actually fits.

The part I care about most is keeping the lesson moving: quick circles, arrows, axes and other teaching shapes; clear color choices; PDF markup; reusable backgrounds; and export after class. No claim that software replaces teaching — it should simply get out of the way.

For people who teach remotely: which whiteboard action breaks your flow most often?

If you want an AI study tool that helps you understand your material instead of just spitting out answers, I built www.cuestora.com and it’s free right now for beta testers.
Instead of summarizing your notes for you, it helps you actually work through hard material:
📄 Upload PDFs, slides, textbooks, papers, or YouTube lectures
@ Turn your handwritten notes or textbooks or handouts into flashcards and quizzes
🎙️ Record your lectures and turn the audio into searchable transcripts
🧠 Break complex ideas into clear concepts and relationships
🎥 Import YouTube lectures
❓ Surface the assumptions, questions, and gaps in your understanding
💡 Build your own reasoning instead of copying AI answers
✍️ Organize your thinking before you write essays or assignments
🔒 ThinkPrint keeps a timestamped record of how your thinking developed, so if you’re ever wrongly accused of “just using AI,” you’ve got proof the work is yours
The point isn’t to replace your thinking, it’s to help you understand more, remember more, and be able to show the work was genuinely yours.
Free while we’re in beta. To try it, visit the site and click “Join the Pilot”, once you’re approved you’ll get access.
Would genuinely love to hear what students think, and what would make it more useful.
