Mine is cheat sheets. I used to think they were stupid and wouldn't be testing student properly. But now I believe having a cheat sheet is more reflective of knowledge application in the real world and how individuals have access to information all the time.
Hi everyone,
I'm a student dev and I built a free web application to help educators and students manage their PDF documents more easily: **https://pdfedit.best\*\*.
I was tired of \"free\" tools that either limit features or add giant watermarks unless you pay for a subscription.
Features: - **100% Free** - **Private:** All processing happens **locally in your browser** (no server uploads). - **No Watermarks** - **No Sign-up**
Hopefully, this makes organizing lecture notes or study guides a little easier!
I'd love to hear your feedback or if there's any other feature you'd like to see!
There is currently some debate in the UK about whether phones should be banned in schools. Some schools already do this. I started being favourable about it, but now I'm not so sure. I think lots of parents won't be comfortable sending their kids to school without phones as they may want to track them or communicate with them for the journey to and from school. That means kids will bring them anyway but keep them hidden in their bags, which is what they have to do at the moment because in pretty much every school phones shouldn't be seen or heard even though they're not banned. Banning phones completely seems to benefit the school more: if a kid has their phone stolen at school they won't be able to tell the school or they'll get in trouble themselves for having it. What do you think?
This article tells the story of Victoria Soto, an elementary school teacher whose actions during a school shooting continue to be discussed years later.
It raises difficult questions about school safety, how educators are prepared for emergencies, and the responsibilities society places on teachers beyond teaching itself. I’m sharing this to spark discussion around how schools, policymakers, and communities can better support educators and students in crisis situations.
Hi everyone — I run a small education business in the U.S. I’m not a developer, but I hit a point where spreadsheets + random Slack/text threads were quietly breaking our operations.
I kept thinking, “We’re not even that big — why does this feel so messy?” Turns out the mess wasn’t the people. It was the system (or lack of one).
The real win wasn’t the first version. It was being able to make changes in minutes when we realized we forgot a field, needed a new status, or wanted a slightly different workflow.
That “we can just fix the system” feeling was huge.
I can share a checklist of the exact screens + database fields I used (and a lightweight template you can copy). Comment with your use case (school / tutoring / edtech / internal ops) and what you’re tracking (teachers, students, classes, payments), and I’ll adapt it.
Note: I used a full-stack app builder to implement this. Happy to share what I learned either way — not here to spam links.
Hi there everyone,
I built mexty.ai, it's a SCORM package authoring tool, you can create any type of SCORM compatible interactive content with AI and export it to the LMS of your choice. You can also upload your existing content and work from there. I'm thinking of creating an LMS as well, so I wanna to know what features you think an LMS SHOULD have that most today don't.
I also would love to have feedbacks before i start moving on to building the LMS. In the mid-long term, I want people to be able to collect data on their students, draw learning profiles, adapt the content to the learning profiles and make the authoring + LMS into a single platform. But I need to make sure the base is solid before I build anything else.
If you need some free subscription / more credits just let me know.
