Curipod

CurIPOd is a web-based classroom platform designed to help educators turn ordinary lessons into interACTive experiences. Instead of building a presentation and hoping students stay engaged, teachers can assemble activities such as polls, word clouds, open-ended Prompts, drawing tasks, and question-and-answer segments within a single flow. The tool also uses AI assistance to help capture student input and generate lesson material, which can reduce the time spent preparing activities from scratch.

What it does

During class, students participate through connected devices, and their responses can be displayed to the group, giving the teacher a quick read on what students underStand and where they may need support.
