Tizmos

What Tizmos is

Tizmos helps teachers turn a sentence into a short mission students complete in the real world, then report back on. Its AI can prepare a draft from a teacher’s sentence in about twenty seconds; the teacher can revise it before sending. Each Tizmo can combine a story, teacher video, question, mission, report-back step and completion screen. Teachers can share by link, QR code or printed card, or present a mission in class. Families open it in a browser without installing an app or creating an account, and printed cards also let them take part without a screen. Students do not sign up, sign in or get profiles. For reports, they can tap to mark completion, optionally add a photo or short video, and write one line about what they found. Teachers can sequence missions into paths and invite co-authors to edit a Tizmo. A teacher’s own link routes reports back to that teacher. Tizmos is a web-based service founded in 2008, with multimedia content, interactive activities, live lesson delivery and learner analytics. The maker says reports are used only by the sending teacher and that students and families do not see advertising. Plans range from Free to Pro and Team, with a Schools option available by discussion.

Who it suits

Tizmos suits classroom teachers, homeschoolers, co-ops or pods, and after-school programs that want students to carry out activities beyond a screen. It also fits teachers who want to organize sequential missions or collaborate on their design.

Limits

The Free plan includes one class and one self-created path, with reports, photos, and analytics available for 14 days; archived reports are kept for a year. Pro keeps reports, photos, videos, and analytics forever, and allows up to three video steps per Tizmo, each up to two minutes.

Getting started

1. Open the Tizmos website in a browser.
2. Choose the Free plan or a paid plan.
3. Create a Tizmo from a teacher’s sentence, then revise the AI draft if useful.
4. Add steps such as a story, question, mission, or report-back.
5. Share it by link, QR code, printed card, or class presentation.

Verdict

Choose Tizmos if you want to turn teacher prompts into real-world missions and collect student responses without requiring student accounts. The Free plan is limited to one class and one self-created path, while longer report retention and more classes require a paid plan.
