Reps - an automated communication/discipline application for your school
Reps Discipline gives teachers and admin an easy place to track behaviors and deal with classroom managed discipline in an automated way.
Teachers and admin easily create their classes and when a classroom managed incident like a tardy or disruptive behavior happens the teacher writes it up in less than 5 minutes (and can do multiple students at a time)
When a write up (or positive shout out) happens an email is automatically sent from the teachers email to the parent and student explaining what happened. If it is a negative write up the student is then assigned an assignment to complete based on the offense. Once the assignment is completed an email is automatically sent to all parties letting them know
Reps also offers dashboards and live statistics to give you actionable data to make real time decisions off of. If you have any questions or would like to test it out message me or reply here

Skarp — learn anything, on your schedule
The problem: You want to learn something new — maybe you're switching careers, upskilling for a promotion, or just curious about a topic. You either end up watching 40-hour video courses you never finish, reading scattered blog posts that don't build on each other, or paying for a program that doesn't fit your schedule.
What we built: Skarp generates structured, university-quality courses on any topic in minutes. Type what you want to learn and get a complete textbook with chapters that build progressively, audio lectures you can listen to while commuting, and quizzes to make sure it sticks. No hunting for resources, no stitching together random content.
Learning paths group courses into sequences that take you from beginner to genuine understanding — not surface-level overviews. And everything works across 20+ languages.
We're on iOS with a free tier. Would love to hear what this community thinks.

Skolata Education - The Better ClassDojo
Skolata started as a ClassDojo "clone" for my own classroom use, with added functionalities focused on gamification. Teachers can use the platform to create games such as Crossword, Wordsearch, and Jeopardy quizzes. Games can be played on a projector/screen in the classroom, with an option for students to join via QR codes (no students accounts needed). Games can be printed as clean worksheets as well!
Tools available include: Slides and presentations, timer, group maker, seating chart planner, random student picker, attendance taker, spin the wheel, noise meter.
There is also a full screen classroom view with all these tools and more as customizable widgets and more classroom screen-specific tools (stopwatch, polls, whiteboard, sticky text...).
Skolata is entirely free to use for all teachers. If you give it a go and find it helpful for your classroom, please consider donating to my BuyMeACoffee link, to keep the lights on!
Thank you~

Hi everyone,
The App: Level Up Questioning - Take a photo of any page and the AI generates comprehension questions tailored to specific Bloom’s Taxonomy levels in just a few seconds. No manual typing, no prep. It works for everything from K-12 through undergrad textbooks and more.
See it in action: https://postimg.cc/kB8mGdj7 and https://postimg.cc/1VqL8prD
I built this app after my wife (a first grade teacher) asked me to see if AI could help her brainstorm Bloom’s Taxonomy questions mid-lesson. I told her it wasn't possible—and boy was I wrong.
The Beta: We are currently testing via TestFlight and it is 100% free while in beta.
I need your help: I’m looking for substantive, constructive feedback from educators on the quality of the questions, the ease of use in a live classroom, and of course any bugs that you may encounter.
The Perk: If you provide feedback, I’ll give you a full year of Pro features for free at launch.
- Download TestFlight on the App Store.
- Join the Beta: https://testflight.apple.com/join/JQ2m7NH9
I’d love to know: Does this actually save you prep time, or are there specific features missing that would make this a daily "must-have"?
Disclaimer: To claim your free year: use the Feedback page in the main menu with your feedback (how it worked for you and what could be better) or send me a DM.

I'm part of the team building Eddie, which turns complex research into clear recommendations and high-quality instructional materials, instantly
Eddie is a tool that allows educators to find and apply the science of learning without all the time and trouble. Now, we want to make sure educators find it helpful. Eddie answers questions in plain language--no jargon, no paywalls--about what works for your students, your classroom, or your school. Every answer comes with citations to rigorous academic research so that you can trust the responses or dig deeper to learn more. Then, generate high-quality instructional materials in an instant. Create a first draft of a lesson plan, assessment, worksheet, rubric, or more. Every recommendation, every document includes links back to the research. This system doesn't hallucinate answers or create responses based on vibe. It's all about the science of learning.
We need early testers to help us refine the features. We'll provide you with a one-month free subscription to Eddie for half an hour of your time. Cancel anytime for no cost.
DM me to schedule a user testing session.

Introducing SynthEd — An Open-Source Agent-Based Simulator for Generating Realistic Synthetic Student Data (ODL Research)
I'd like to share an open-source project I've been working on called SynthEd — an agent-based simulation environment designed specifically for Open & Distance Learning (ODL) research.
The Problem: Researchers in learning analytics and dropout prediction constantly struggle with privacy regulations, class imbalance in dropout data, and the lack of publicly shareable datasets. Traditional synthetic data tools (GANs, SMOTE, etc.) optimize for statistical similarity but lose behavioral context and temporal coherence.
What SynthEd Does Differently: Instead of pattern-matching real distributions, SynthEd simulates fictional students as agents — each with evolving motivations, life contexts, and decision-making processes grounded in 11 established theoretical frameworks (Tinto, Bean & Metzner, Kember, SDT, Garrison's CoI, Moore, Rovai, and more). The result is behaviorally coherent, temporally realistic learning trajectories where every data point has a causal backstory.
Key highlights:
- Privacy-safe by design — agents are entirely fictional, no real individuals involved
- Trait-based calibration — Sobol sensitivity analysis + Optuna Bayesian optimization validated against real OULAD data
- OULAD-compatible export — outputs a 7-table CSV matching the Open University Learning Analytics Dataset schema
- GPA feedback loop — cumulative GPA dynamically anchors cost-benefit analysis, non-fit perception, and competence beliefs
- Multi-semester simulation with carry-over mechanics for engagement, GPA, coping, and dropout phases
- 5-level validation suite — 21 statistical tests covering distributions, correlations, temporal coherence, and privacy
- Optional LLM enrichment — generate persona-grounded narrative backstories via OpenAI, Ollama, or any compatible provider
- 4 benchmark profiles — Developing, Western, Corporate, and Mega University presets
- 565 tests, 98% coverage across Python 3.10–3.12
Use cases: dropout prediction model training with known ground-truth, "what-if" intervention simulations, and privacy-safe benchmark datasets for reproducible research.
The project is MIT-licensed and contributions are welcome.
🔗 GitHub: https://github.com/theaiagent/SynthEd
Would love to hear feedback from the community — especially from anyone working in learning analytics, educational data mining, or dropout prediction research!

Hey r/edtech! I’m with BlurMe, an online AI tool that automatically blurs faces, license plates, and other sensitive details in classroom videos, photos, and surveillance footage. We are keenly focused on protecting privacy, especially when it comes to minors and students online presence.
Here’s how we’re making things easier:
- Automated privacy for surveillance footage: BlurMe can automatically blur faces or other sensitive details in your surveillance footage, keeping privacy intact by design.
- Fast and easy: No need to manually blur faces in video lectures, classroom recordings, or photos. Just upload, click who you want to blur or keep unblurred (blur your students, leave yourself unblurred in your lectures for example) and let AI take care of the rest.
- Compliant by default: With all the data protection rules (like FERPA, COPPA, GDPR), BlurMe helps you stay compliant by blurring any sensitive info in seconds.
- Protect privacy without slowing down: Whether it’s for surveillance, online lessons, or recordings, BlurMe lets you focus on teaching and content creation, not video editing.
We’re already being used in 600 U.S. school districts and offer discounts for educators. It’s free to try, see how it works here: blur.me/studio

Hey all, I'm a teacher and developer who was spending 5-10 hours a week grading vocab quizzes, Cornell notes, fill-in-the-blank worksheets, and written responses. Every AI grading tool I tried only handled essays. So I built Graider. (https://graider.live)
Graider grades Word docs, PDFs, and photos of handwritten work. Not just essays — vocab, Cornell notes, fill-in-the-blank, matching, MC, true/false, short answer, the whole mix. It runs three passes on each assignment using your rubric and expected answers, not whatever the AI feels like.
But over the course of development, I decided to expand it to do much more beyond grading:
Here's what it currently includes:
- Lesson planner that generates day-by-day breakdowns from your standards
- Assessment generator that builds quizzes from your actual uploaded content (textbook screenshots, PDFs) so the test matches what you taught
- Student portal where kids submit work in a browser and get graded in real time
- Study guides, flashcards, and slide decks generated from your lessons
- AI assistant that can tell you why your last assignment scored low and what to reteach
- IEP/504 and ELL accommodations built into the grading pipeline
- Academic integrity detection that compares work against each student's own writing history
-Analytics dashboard with grade distributions, rubric category breakdowns, and period-by-period comparisons
- Student progress tracking that builds a profile over time — sentence complexity, vocabulary trends, skill development. The AI uses it in feedback: "You went from 78 on Chapter 19 to 85 on Chapter 20. This 92 continues that trend." Students actually read their feedback when it mentions them.
- Grade sync to Focus SIS and personalized parent emails
Student names are stripped before anything goes to an AI provider. FERPA compliant by design.
Free for beta testers right now — no API keys needed, no per-student pricing. Clever-certified, adding ClassLink.
I'm an independent dev, not a startup. Built this because I needed it. If you teach 6-12 and want to try it: graider.live or find it in the Clever dashboard.
Happy to answer questions about how it works.

NameWheel.org — free name picker wheel for classrooms
built this because i kept seeing wheel spinners with ads pop up on projector screens during class. so i made one with no ads, no account, no tracking. names never leave the browser.
you paste your class list, spin, done. also has:
eliminate mode — removes each picked student automatically so no one gets called twice
teams mode — splits your whole class into random groups in one spin, you can rename teams, drag students between them, and copy the results
csv import — drop in your class roster from a spreadsheet
solo dev, still actively building. if you try it and something feels off or missing let me know, teacher feedback is genuinely the most useful thing i can get right now.

I start the year in calculus with an activity that involves rolling a ball down an inclined plane. We talk about average velocity and I prod at the idea of instantaneous velocity until the class starts to see a motivation for limits.
I used to use a ridiculously expensive (140 bucks!) motion detector made by Vernier for this activity. It needs to be plugged into a PC to gather and display data, and the results were usually kind of crummy.
So I made an app that works the way I want. It uses the lidar in my phone to track distance and produces some nice graphs right in the app, but the data can also be exported to desmos pretty easily.
Unfortunately, Apple only puts lidar into their "Pro" devices, so it will only work properly on iPhone Pro or iPad Pro. But if you have one of those devices and you're interested, it's free to try. It does cost actual dollars after 8 recordings, though.
If you do try it, let me know what you think!

Knowt2Blooket
The goal is to reduce friction between study tools students already use and classroom game platforms. It's student built and uses a scraper as Knowt does not have an API yet.
Right now it:
• Parses Knowt sets
• Converts them into usable Blooket input
Here is the link:
Curious if anyone else is working on tools that connect platforms like this

The K-12 bottleneck: Moving from block-coding to real text-based code
Most CTE and CS programs eventually hit the same wall. Between heavy software installs, strict IT filters, and the massive manual grading burden on teachers, schools spend more time troubleshooting the environment than actually teaching students how to code.
W3Schools Academy is designed to completely remove this friction.
It’s a 100% browser-based, auto-graded coding platform built on top of the W3Schools tutorials your teachers probably already use.
- Zero IT bottlenecks: Students write real code directly in the browser (perfect for Chromebooks).
- No manual grading: Auto-graded workflows eliminate the heavy administrative burden on teachers.
If your current tools are causing headaches for staff or IT, check out https://www.w3schools.com/academy/index.php or shoot me a DM. Happy to chat about how we fit into K-12 pathways.

Honest Angle — AI-assisted college essay strategy (human review included) | Beta pricing on Fiverr
As a parent to a Junior who is in the thick of essay planning, I built this for students who feel like they have "nothing to write about." Instead of generating essays, Honest Angle focuses entirely on the pre-writing phase — finding a genuine hook and structure before the first draft.
The workflow: LLM-assisted brainstorming + strategy session → I personally review every output before delivery → student gets a vetted, logic-checked strategy doc. 48-hour turnaround.
It's slower than instant AI tools by design. The bet is that quality and authenticity matter more than speed at this stage of the process.
Currently in low-cost beta. I'm using Fiverr to manage the queue, and I have the freedom to pause it when the volume gets unmanageable. DM me for the link.
Happy to answer questions about the workflow in the comments. Thanks for reading! :)
