The lesson follows the child home

This week's app releases are built around one idea: what happens in class should reach home the same evening. A teacher's Class Diary entry can now carry the chapter that was taught, the practice to go with it and the homework already set — and the parent's app opens all three. Learn becomes a guided study companion, with My Mistakes, downloadable chapters and saved exam plans. And a new Today list and Tomorrow's school bag tell a family exactly what needs doing.

Class Diary, carried home Guided Learn Today & school bag 21 updates

A lesson used to end at the classroom door. What a parent learned about it came from a line in a diary, if it came at all. The Student & Parent app's largest Learn and family release yet (25.48.30), together with Teacher app V2.9.18, closes that gap — without handing the teacher a new form. The diary entry they already post simply carries more, and the family's app turns it into something a child can act on that evening.

A Class Diary entry that carries the lesson

Teacher app: link the chapter, the practice and the homework. When posting a Class Diary entry, link the chapter you taught and optionally attach practice, so students get the matching Self-Learn explanation and practice at home. Homework you have already set can be linked to the entry instead of being created a second time.
Student & Parent app: the diary entry opens the lesson. A Class Diary entry now opens the chapter explanation, the practice and the homework the teacher linked — so "we did fractions today" becomes something a child can revise the same evening.
Teacher app: quicker to post, with help writing it. Posting now takes three steps — details, what was covered, then review — and picking students is optional on the review step (Student Observations keep every step as before). Above the box sit this week's teaching-plan topics for that class and subject, the last class's "Next class plan" note, and starter phrases.
See exactly who it reaches before you post. "Who will see this" shows how many households the entry reaches, how many parent notifications will go out, whether homework will be created or linked, and any duplicate entry for the same period. It writes nothing and sends nothing — it only shows you.
Marking a topic as taught is now a deliberate choice. A new "Mark as taught in Teaching Plan" switch on the review step is off by default and hidden for substitute periods, so posting a diary entry never quietly completes a unit of the teaching plan.

Learn, guided from first page to exam day

A chapter, step by step. Learn now walks a student through a chapter in steps, finishes with a quick revision, and lets them keep their own study cards to come back to.
My Mistakes: wrong answers come back until they are right. A question a student got wrong returns on its own in guided practice, spaced out over the following days, until they have it — the way a good tutor would bring it back.
Chapters that work without internet. Download a chapter to read, revise and practise it with no connection; the study done offline is sent up once the phone is back online. Available in the installed app, not in a browser.
Exam plans a student can keep. Save an exam plan with a daily study-time budget, reschedule it when the week changes, and choose exactly which chapters it covers.
Honest about what is ready — for students and teachers. Notes and Q&A now say when part of a chapter is partial, still being prepared or unavailable, and name the topics not yet covered. In the Teacher app, the Chapter Library shows how well each chapter pack covers its topic list and which blocks are partial, pending or unavailable.

Learning by doing: challenges, activities and teach-back

Teacher app: weekly Class Challenges. Set a weekly challenge linked to the curriculum and choose whether students answer with photos, text or both. Review what each student hands in, accept it or return it with a comment and a recognition tag, and turn the best accepted work into a class vote or an Event.
Student & Parent app: hand it in, hear back, decide together. Students hand in photos or an answer and read the teacher's reply, and the family decides together whether the work may go into a class vote.
Teach it back. A child explains part of a chapter in their own voice and sees what they got across — the oldest test of whether something has really been understood.
Interactive activities, in preview. Inside selected Light and Fractions chapters, a student can move the mirror or the fraction, predict what will happen, then check. They are shown as a preview while teachers complete their review.

The family's day, organised

Today, on a redesigned Home. One list of what the family has to do today — and with more than one child at the school, a sibling's item opens under the right child. The Home screen has been redesigned around it, and a new Get started step after sign-in offers one real thing to do, with the walkthrough ending on it.
Tomorrow's school bag. A checklist built from the timetable, exam papers and the teacher's bring-for list, plus anything the family adds. In the Teacher app, list what the class should bring and the day to bring it, and it appears on every family's checklist.
What you missed, after an absence. After a day away, a new What you missed view comes with the child's own catch-up checklist — so getting back on track is a list, not a guess.
The Parent AI Advisor points to the next step. The Advisor now says what you can do next, and opens it for the right child.
Hindi, chosen per child. Choose a language for each child — School Diary notes and chapter recaps can now be read in Hindi.

My Year at School

Student & Parent app: a year's story in one place. My Year at School collects the child's certificates, events, class moments and their own projects — the record a family would otherwise keep in a folder, if they kept it at all.
Teacher app: see it, and the work families share. Teachers can see each child's My Year record and review the work families choose to share with them.

Nothing new to fill in

Everything here runs on what teachers already post and what the school already records — the diary entry, the timetable, the exam schedule, the chapter packs. Some of it appears as soon as there is something behind it: a challenge once a teacher sets one, a linked chapter once a diary entry carries it. The more a school uses EDII, the more every family sees. More next week.
