Brisk Teaching helps teachers save time by generating lesson plans, quizzes, feedback, and differentiated resources in minutes. It’s designed specifically for education, so the interface feels intuitive and the outputs are tailored to classroom needs. Teachers should still check accuracy and avoid putting in sensitive data, but used wisely it can take the grind out of prep and marking.

FigJam

caraodoherty — 2025-11-07 10:11:25 UTC

FigJam is a free, browser-based whiteboard where students can work together in real time — adding sticky notes, shapes, drawings, or text. I’ve used it for group brainstorming, wellbeing reflections, and TY planning tasks.

There are ready-made templates for things like timelines or mind maps, or you can just start with a blank page. Students join with a simple link and don’t need accounts, which keeps things easy and safe. The free account gives you three

Files but you can download finished boards and keep them.
