When a File-Sharing Classroom Isn't Enough for Live Lessons
Posting and collecting files is admin. Here's what a platform built for live lessons adds: annotation on the board, every screen on your page and live checks of understanding.
Moving From Posting Worksheets to Teaching With Them
Stop posting PDFs for students to fill in alone. Teach with them: annotate live on the board, work the first question together, then turn the pages into auto-marked practice.
Bring Your Own AI: Filling a Question Bank Template With Any Assistant
Use any AI assistant to fill ClassKite's Question Bank template, then upload it back and review every question. A bring-your-own-AI route to a ready question bank.
AI in the Classroom: Benefits, Risks, and a Teacher-First Workflow
A balanced look at AI in the classroom: where it saves time, where the risks are, and a teacher-first workflow in which AI drafts and the teacher decides.
Why 'AI Drafts, Teacher Decides' Beats Auto-Generated Quizzes
Fully auto-generated quizzes risk wrong answer keys and off-syllabus items. Why keeping the teacher in the loop (AI drafts, you review) gives better questions and still saves time.
From a PDF to Auto-Marked Practice: A Prep Workflow
A weekly prep routine that turns the PDFs you already have into reusable auto-marked practice, so next year you re-run lessons instead of rebuilding them.
Formative Assessment Tools That Inform the Lesson You're Teaching
Formative assessment that changes the lesson you're teaching: auto-marked checks and live signals that show what to reteach while there's still time.
What Auto-Marking Can (and Can't) Do for You
What auto-marking covers: objective questions, marked instantly with no pile to carry home. It cannot mark essays. How to design checks that get the most from it.
Smart Board Teaching: Keep Every Screen on the Same Page
With follow-me page sync, every student's screen follows yours, your annotation streams live and you can push a quick check, so nobody asks 'what page are we on?'.
Annotate Once, Reuse Next Year: A Marked-Up Lesson Workflow
Build lessons you reuse: saved annotations plus reusable question banks organised by topic and section, so next year you re-run instead of rebuild.
Digital Whiteboard for Teachers: What It Is and Isn't
What a teacher can expect from a digital whiteboard, and how teaching on your own PDFs in ClassKite, streamed and synced to every student, differs from a blank infinite canvas.
Student Progress Tracking: What Sits Behind the Grade
A grade tells you where a student stands, not why. See the per-session reports, score trend and live grid that sit behind the ClassKite Gradebook, and why they are what you act on.
