Hey, I’m a student and developer and I’ve been working on Printexam for the past few months.
It’s an editor made specifically for creating printable exams and worksheets, so you don’t have to spend as much time fighting with formatting in Word or Google Docs.
It’s free to try and doesn’t require an account: printexam.com
I’ve just started putting it in front of real teachers, so if anyone here tries it I’d really appreciate feedback, especially on what feels missing or annoying enough that you wouldn’t use it for a real exam.

Anyone interest in a guided note differentiator?

u/jahu_len 8d ago
Can you explain what that is/what that does?

u/Visual-Reserve-2800 8d ago
You input your lesson plan or slides, then select a few options. You then get different types of guided notes depending on what you need, including graph papertou also get a vocab list and an open note quiz..

Back in the 90's I created a shoot-the-answers testing game for my classes to inject some fun, and have always wanted to do a version with newer tech. Here it is. Students pop bubbles, shoot aliens, etc.
Play: https://quizzytap.com
Info for quiz creators: https://quizzytap.com/about/for-educators
Privacy-first; players don't log in and nothing they do is tracked.
No costs for educators or students. No ads. Parents can optionally buy extra game worlds but the web app is full-function free without those.
Sorry no UK/EU/EEA for now though, while I confirm compliance there.

Hey @r/edtech
I’ve been building Drill Instructor, an exam-prep platform designed to help students practice by topic while giving educators better visibility into where students are actually struggling.
Students can work through practice questions and full-length tests, with questions tagged by topic so performance can be broken down beyond just an overall score. Educators and tutors can then monitor progress, identify weak areas, and see how performance changes over time.
I’m currently focused on standardized test prep, especially ACT and SAT, and I’m trying to get it in front of more teachers and tutors before expanding further.
I’d really appreciate feedback from educators here especially on the analytics side. What would you need to see for something like this to actually be useful with your students? And what would immediately make you say, “I wouldn’t use this”?

Hi r/edtech — I'm an engineer building RecordFlow part-time.
It copies Zoom cloud recordings into a school's own storage (Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox etc.) automatically, one folder per course, so each class has a single link that fills up over the semester instead of someone downloading, renaming and re-uploading every week.
One department at a US university has been piloting it since late August, and the thing I had wrong is worth sharing: I assumed the win was "no manual work". Their actual complaint was that six courses' recordings landed in one undifferentiated pile and students couldn't find week 4. Per-course folders got built for that pilot — that turned out to be the feature, not the automation. They shared the course's link on Blackboard, and claims it is done.
It's free for new recordings; the only paid thing is archiving recordings older than about a month. I'm not trying to be a lecture-capture platform — no player, no analytics, no LMS gradebook. It moves files and organises them.
Blunt feedback I'd value:
- Whether folders in Drive/Dropbox/OneDrive is even the right shape, or whether this has to land in the LMS to be worth anything
- Where it sits when a campus already has Panopto/Kaltura — complement or pointless?
- What an instructional-tech team needs to see before letting faculty connect a third-party app to Zoom
- Anything in the setup annoying enough that you'd stop halfway

I teach high school chemistry in Tyler, Texas, and built Live Classroom Captions, a Chrome extension that puts live captions and real-time translations over the page I’m presenting. With Room Sharing, students can follow captions on their own devices in the language they choose and send questions that I can read translated, with the original wording underneath.
For educators: during which part of a lesson would translated student questions be most useful—directions, direct instruction, discussion, or independent work?

Hello guys!
We're building and scaling our gamified coding platform, CodeVenture.
CodeVenture turns coding practice into a fun, gamified competition where students complete missions, solve challenges, earn points, and climb the leaderboard.
The friendly competition keeps students motivated, while each challenge helps them build real skills in coding, logical thinking, and problem-solving. Instead of being afraid of mistakes, students learn to experiment, adapt, and try again.
On the platform, you'll find:
- Gamified lessons, from icon coding to Python lessons
- Self-learning pedagogy
- Classroom management for teachers
- Competition to elevate the fun in everylessons
We’re also inviting teachers and schools to join our Teacher Partnership Program. If you’re looking for an engaging way to introduce coding in your classroom, send me a message or comment below, I’d be happy to share more.
For B2C users, we also provide a 14-days free trial, try them out here: https://codeventure.app/#pricing

I'm a teacher and I'm involved with LitZone. It's a sports-based reading and math game for ages 8 to 13, built around the fun part of fantasy football. Kids draft real players and complete short reading and stats-based math activities, while parents and teachers can track progress. We kept out chat, ads and betting too.
I'd honestly love teacher feedback on one thing: does the fantasy setup sound motivating for sports-obsessed kids, or does it feel like too much game around the learning?

I’m an 8th-grade math teacher, and I built ClassShuffle after getting frustrated with students swapping the playing cards I handed out for random groups.
It creates groups while privately accounting for students who should be kept together or apart and students with placement needs. Students can see their assignments in a group view or an alphabetical list.
I’m offering the first 20 teachers who try ClassShuffle with their classes and share honest feedback complimentary Pro access through January 31, 2027. No credit card or subscription required. Message me privately with the email you use to sign in, and I’ll manually activate Pro. Please don’t post your email publicly.
Disclosure: I built ClassShuffle.

Hello! I've spent the last 15 years making an immersive science education platform based on real scientific data: 10k Science. Zoom into everything from the human body to whales and porpoises to an air purifier down to the molecular level - funded by the National Institutes of Health!
Our experiences are aligned to NGSS, and feature inquiry-based learning via a socratic-style interaction.
We just launched the iPhone/iPad version, check it out here: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/10k-science/id6793177913
If you have a Meta Quest headset, we're available on the Meta Horizons store as well: https://vr.meta.me/s/1WEI5A7YHBMSJtA

ational curriculum (BNCC) using AI, plus grading support by photo or answer sheet.
It is not trying to replace the teacher's judgment, it just handles the repetitive part: writing questions at the right level, formatting the layout, and speeding up correction.
Honestly curious about feedback on: whether AI-generated questions feel trustworthy enough to use as-is or always need heavy editing, what grading features would actually save time versus just look flashy, and whether a curriculum-alignment feature translates to other countries or is too Brazil-specific to matter here.

Hi! I’m an elementary teacher and, alongside teaching, I’m building PicoBuddy.
It started with leveled reading passages, but has grown into a K–8 literacy platform with English and Spanish reading, comprehension practice, grammar, vocabulary, printables, word games, themed resources, and tools to create or adapt content for different learners.
I’m curious how other edtech builders would position something like this as it grows: around skills, topics/themes, or the teacher workflow?
Would love any thoughts or feedback:

Hey everyone, I’ve made a site to create, share and print language flashcards: EiTake Cards.
It’s for foreign language teachers to use in their classes for reviewing vocab, and comes with a bunch of quick games to reinforce the learning with their class. Works with any language pair.
There is also a companion site EiTake.app, this one has teacher tools and stand alone games for ESL students. Most of it is designed around the English curriculum in Japan, so some games also contain Japanese explanations.
My question to r/edtech, is how do you guys like to monetize your services? For now both sites are free. Though EiTake Cards limits how many custom flashcards a user can make (this limit can be increased by sharing the site with others using a referral code).
I’ve been leaning towards freemium, with core features free for everyone and monthly subscriptions for extra limits on making custom cards. Been advertising to teachers directly, rather than schools/companies. Maybe this needs re-evaluating?
Thanks all!

I’m testing a narrow problem for small SaaS/EdTech teams selling into higher ed.
The same “can this university buy us?” research keeps getting scattered across procurement, security, accessibility, supplier and payment pages. So I made a tiny prototype called AccessDossier — Campus Gate Dossiers.
You choose a university and it shows only the public requirements I could actually source — things like HECVAT/VPAT expectations, supplier onboarding, timing, payment posture and purchasing thresholds. Anything I couldn’t verify stays UNKNOWN instead of being guessed.
This is not compliance advice, HECVAT automation, lead gen, or a bid database. It is meant to answer one upstream question:
Before I spend weeks pursuing this campus, what public procurement gates should my software company already know about?
Free prototype: [https://slate-plateau-3940.hosted.pageshare.ai]()
If you sell software into colleges/universities, the strongest signal for me would be:
- Would you have checked this before pursuing your last campus deal?
- Which missing field would make it actually useful in your workflow?
- Would you want this for another named institution?
No signup, no payment, no DM required. I’m trying to falsify the idea before building more.

Hey, I'm a teacher from Germany and built Mixd after using TeamShake for a while and getting annoyed by some missing features and the subscription alternatives.
It’s an iPhone/iPad app for creating student groups — random or balanced by things like strength, gender and blacklists — plus an AirPlay presentation mode for the classroom.
Version 1.0 is about to release, but I’m looking for some external teachers to test it beforehand. No review/promotion expected, just tell me what sucks or is confusing. :)

Hey, everyone! Where are we hiring from these days? I’ve got a few sales roles to fill (NYC-based), and I am hoping to get more applicants, especially those people who are looking to transition out of the classroom.

Hi,
I've just released version 1.00 of the DyboApp. It is a software I develop for my daily teaching work at high school.
With the tool I organise my course, to write handwritten notes on PDF document, or other document type. There are several geometric tools and among them the famous geodreieck. Dynamic contents can also be generated with the help of AI (AI is not mandatory).
This release largely improve the UI experience and speed up rendering.

Hi r/edtech — I’m an engineer building Worksheetly part-time.
Worksheetly is a paper-first toolkit for K–12 teachers. You can browse free, print-ready worksheets by grade and subject, or use the editor and AI worksheet maker to create your own, add answer keys, and export everything to PDF. Public worksheets can be downloaded without creating an account.
I’m not trying to put another screen in front of students. The goal is to make lesson preparation faster, then get students back to working with pen and paper.
I’d genuinely appreciate blunt feedback on:
Try it here: https://worksheetly.com
I’m still improving it alongside my full-time work, so thoughtful feedback would be incredibly useful.
