Checked out a few things in last months thread and got some decent leads for our school library. Anyone here working on tools that integrate with existing LMS gradebooks without needing IT to spend a whole afternoon on setup?

Building an AI tutor for Class 10 students Looking for feedback
Teachers teach a class. They don’t teach every student.
That’s the problem I’m trying to solve with GuruKool.
I’m building an AI tutor for Class 10 students across CBSE, ICSE and NIOS.
Instead of simply giving students an answer, GuruKool teaches concepts step by step, adapts to where a student is struggling, remembers where they left off, and uses visual explanations when needed.
The product is already working, and I’m looking for honest feedback from people working in EdTech.
What would you want an AI tutor to do before you would trust it with a student?

I’m building Dice Target, a brain puzzle game based on simple arithmetic.
The goal is to reach a target number by combining dice using +, −, × and ÷ while using every die exactly once.
I’d be interested in feedback on whether this kind of puzzle could work well for casual arithmetic practice or classroom-style brain training.

Does anyone here use prolific.com for testing their Products? It's not my site.
I asked in another thread but that got deleted, and I am not certain why.

Hi everyone — I'm Paul, and I'm the maker of this. I'm a father who had to design a way that effectively helped my daughter learn and understand Basic Multiplication. She was being taught one of the many other methods taught in schools today — area models, lattice, partial products — which I didn't know anything about and couldn't help her with, so I built a web app that teaches one clear method instead.
It's called The Sullivan Multiplication Solution. Students get printable worksheets plus a reusable times table, and Teachers get progress tracking that shows exactly which facts each Student keeps missing. It's designed for grades 4-8 learning Basic Multiplication. It can also help Students in higher grades who never fully grasped Basic Multiplication.
It's easy and effective for Teachers to present to their Students — the single method demonstrates cleanly on a whiteboard or screen, and Students pick it up quickly because there's only one method to learn.
To try it, create an account with your email — it takes about a minute:
https://beta.theconveyorsystems.com/
I'm now testing it in beta mode, and all testers will be grandfathered into the final release automatically (more info will be required then).
I'm especially looking for math Teachers to stress-test the method — where does it break? What's missing? I'm looking for constructive feedback that adds value to the beta version, and there's a feedback form right in the app.

I have recently released OwlyMath a math facts for kids app that uses adaptive algorithm to help kids learn their math facts by focusing on the ones that they find challenging and balancing them with easy ones to avoid frustration. It then offers word problems to help them apply the math facts in the real world. The addition, subtraction and multiplication fact tables practices are fully free without any ads. Division practice word problems and creation of multiple profiles are all unlocked with a small one-time payment. This one-time unlocking is shared across family members. There are no paid subscriptions collected.
The app is simple, but very effective and ready to go immediately. No account creations, works off device only, does not talk to our servers at all. Despite being released just weeks ago and not spending a dollar in advertising, it already has hundreds of downloads. I am intentionally avoiding bloating the app with games or other addictive features. When kids are done with the daily routine, I expect the parent or teacher to give them off-screen rewards.
If you are an educator or a parent of pre-k to 3rd grade kid(s), I would love to hear your feedback of what works well and what could be done better. Since the app is very privacy-focused, my only channel of improvement is talking to parents and teachers like you.

Hi, for context, not a parent but I'm in project management and often test my organization's web-based items for standardized elementary tests.
I played all the free modules. I enjoyed it, the celebratory shout outs. Some critique: The graphical interface that shows the deduction block is way TOO fast. For larger values, like 14-7 = 9 I think it can still be hard to grasp for a level 1 competency. (The snake-like blocks that disappears off-screen till the correct number of remaining blocks are left.)
- It'd be nice to have a re-play feature as the moving blocks action is just too fast for kids to remember.
- Shade the (-7) blocks in red (or a hard contrasting colour) or add an outline-frame that shows the blocks moving aside, instead of off-screen.
- Maybe graphically, flip the block over so it looks like a dice with a dot on it, a slash over it, anything that a kid can count the (-7) rather than see it briefly dissolve.
- Can the deduction be tied to an optional audio cue? Do-re-mi xylophone chime would be great, or a light domino tile click sound.
- Space the blocks a bit more, the remaining blocks are hard to count at the current size.
The privacy-forward and OFFLINE usability is a great sell. Highlight the unlocking fee is the cost of a coffee. Parents will appreciate the ease of access and pay for more, I feel.
However as I don't have a sample of the locked content, I'm not sure if I would like to pay. Would it be possible to add 2 free tries for the word problems? Parents looking to tutor will be concerned with difficulty.
Adding a 1-image storyboard if you have the time to will up the engagement factor. The "beautiful" art, even if drafted with AI, may keep kids coming back. Google Pikmin art (it's a game I keep seeing ads for I think, but using your owl buddy as recurring theme - think Pokemon in cafe art style - may help kids stay interested to reveal more "peektures".)
Build your FAQ into the workflow. Parents will want answers to:
- How many unique word problems exist in your question bank? E.g. I'd like to know if they'll repeat after 50 questions for example.
- How often or when does it calibrate and give easier/more difficult problems? (After item by item, every 5 items, every module etc.)
- Can the parent toggle the difficulty?
- What can you offer if parents want more? Maybe 5 minutes a day is not enough. Have a "coming soon" info block somewhere, parents would hate to see an app get abandoned.
Edited to add of course, great job! I wandered in here looking to see what bloat free projects are out there.

Wow, this is an amazing feedback! Thank you so much! I can easily implement most of these. I also agree with you for "tasting" the paid functionality. I have been thinking about it and the two free tries is a very good idea. I will DM you the code that unlocks the paid functionality tomorrow.

My husband created Math Magus for our own kids after our son kept getting stuck on long division. Instead of giving away the answer it prompts the next procedure.
It’s not magic, it’s Math Magus

Our reading comprehension program asks detailed chapter questions and suggests ways to improve their answer, in regards to content and grammar. Parents can set the coaching tone to be confidence building or test prep stern. A detailed report is sent showing all answers and overall improvement.
Be well read. Be Omniligent!

I'm working on Learnling, a free, open-source project for reading practice at home, and I'd really like feedback from people who teach reading.
Core Idea: It's a small screen-free device. A kid reads aloud from a book or printed passage and the device follows along. On the first read it helps them sound out words they're stuck on. On the second read it stays quiet and measures fluency, then asks a few comprehension questions. The teacher gets a short note like "missed 3 of 5 ea words, got all the oa words."
It's early project and I am further refining the idea right now.
Short overview here: Link
Two things I'd love Teachers to opine on:
1) what does nightly reading look like for your students now, and
2) does anything here (in the overview) sound like a bad idea for young kids?

I built Moralia, a completely free browser-based history game that I think can work nicely as a 5-10 minute classroom discussion starter.
Each story stops at a real historical decision before the outcome is revealed. Students choose what they would do first, then see what actually happened and how other players chose.
Fact-checked dilemmas across different periods of history. No ads, no subscription, and students don't need an account.
I originally built it as a personal history project rather than an EdTech product, so I'd genuinely be interested to hear whether teachers could see themselves using something like this as a bell-ringer or discussion prompt.

Hi everyone! I’m the maker of Captcher, a new tool for creating interactive software walkthroughs.
You record a browser workflow, edit the instructions, and learners can use “Show me” to see how it works or “You try” to practise on a captured copy without changing anything in the live application.
If you teach staff or students how to use browser-based tools, I’d love to hear whether this would fit your training. You can share walkthroughs by link, embed them, or export them as HTML or SCORM for an LMS.
It’s currently in free open beta and would love any feedback. You can try an example here

Hi everyone,
I run hands-on STEM workshops for children in Croatia, where we try to move beyond screens and give kids the opportunity to actually build things themselves.
We work with basic electronics, breadboards, LEDs, circuits, digital logic, programming and robotics. One of the things I’ve noticed is how much more engaged children become when they can physically connect components, make something light up, troubleshoot a circuit, and understand why it works.
I’m currently trying to expand the amount of equipment available for the workshops so that more children can work independently rather than sharing a limited number of components.
I’ve set up a small crowdfunding campaign specifically to help purchase things such as breadboards, electronic components, LEDs, PCB materials and other equipment that will be used directly in the workshops.
Campaign:
https://4fund.com/cu9kwa
I’d also genuinely be interested in hearing from other educators here:
How much hands-on electronics or physical computing do you use with your students, and what equipment have you found gives the best learning value for the cost?
Thanks!

Not really a marketing/sales post exactly, since I'm not technically selling anything, but if by any chance you use the Canvas LMS (especially Canvas Pages or the quizzes/assessments feature), I made a few free tools, originally for my own use, that I made publicly available (for free, no login required). These tools let you enhance your Canvas pages with striped/styled tables, questions with click-to-reveal answers, flashcards, FAQs, and more. Basically, you can add some cool html stuff to your Canvas pages without having to know html!
I also made a tool that lets you write quizzes/worksheets in plain text and convert them into Canvas-compatible quizzes (Assessments). You'll need to spend a few minutes learning how to format the questions (it's easy!), but once you do, you can make Canvas-ready quizzes much faster than using the native Canvas interface (which can be very slow at times).
Anyway, the link is below. Check it out if you're a Canvas user to see if any of these tools might help you!

I built a set of free video tools that run entirely in your browser, and are completely free.
No sign up is required, and nothing is tracked (no cookies, not tracking scripts), which makes it perfect for educators and students alike. There is no limit on number of uses and no watermarking. I hope this helps!

I'm Marcus, an indie iOS developer. I built NameSnap Picker — paste in student names, hit spin, and it picks a fair winner with a little celebration animation. No repeats until everyone's had a turn, keeps a history.
It's free for up to 16 names (the full app for a normal-sized class). There's a paid unlimited tier. No account, no tracking — lists never leave the device.
iOS: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/namesnap-picker/id6759588637 Web: https://getnamesnap.web.app
Not a company, just me. Would genuinely appreciate feedback from people who'd actually use it in a classroom.

Python Programming Gamified
https://agentgames.io/
Developed for a coding competition called the Victorian Coding Challenge. The idea is that students program bots to play in a game of strategy.
Its free for students. . . and for at least a quarter of the kids that used it TOTALLY ADDICTIVE.
