Tizmos in the classroom

The Friday send.

Type one sentence on Friday afternoon. Every backpack leaves with a mission, the weekend happens off the screen, and Monday starts with what came back.

Free, forever. No student accounts. Works on paper too.

One Tizmo, three ways out the door

Board, backpack, or both.

  1. Present

    On the board

    Play screen one — your hello — to the whole class, leave the QR up, and let them scan from their seats.

  2. Print

    Cards in backpacks

    A printed card carries the whole mission. No phone at home, no problem — the report happens in class instead.

  3. Link

    A link to families

    Drop one link in whatever channel your class already uses. It opens in any browser, with no account, ever.

Monday morning

The report reads itself before first period.

One glance shows who went, how long each student was off the screen, and what they brought back. Mark "got it" as you go, and open the day with the best find.

  • Not one more thing. The Tizmo builds itself in about twenty seconds; sending is one click.
  • Per-student marks. A tap files each report as got it, so nothing needs grading.
  • Paper reports count too. A card that comes back to class lands in the same list.

Planning with a grade-level team? Co-author one Tizmo with the other teachers, each sending to your own class. Free keeps reports for 14 days; Pro keeps every report, photo and video.

Find 3 round things.

Sent Friday
  • Done · 14 min off the screen

    Photo · "a plate, a clock and the moon"

    Got it
  • Done · 11 min off the screen

    Came back on the printed card

    Got it
  • Opened · not back yet

    Nothing breaks — it comes in when it comes in

Illustrative. Reports are a tap, an optional photo or short video, and one line.

Questions classroom teachers ask

Quick answers.

Is this one more platform to manage?

No logins to hand out, no rosters to import, no passwords to reset. Students never get accounts. You type a sentence, the Tizmo builds itself in about twenty seconds, and sending is a link, a QR code, or a stack of printed cards.

What about families who don't open links?

Send the same Tizmo three ways at once. A printed card in the backpack needs no screen at all — the mission works on paper, and the student reports back in class instead.

When would I fit this in?

Most teachers make it a ritual: type the sentence Friday afternoon, present screen one to the class, and send it home for the weekend. Monday opens with "tell me about the clock you found" instead of "did anyone do it?"

Make Friday the send.

One sentence this afternoon; a classroom full of stories on Monday.
