Questions teachers ask

Anything else? Message on WeChat DanziGal88 — a teacher answers, not a bot.

How do I pay for the full version?

Message me on WeChat (DanziGal88), WhatsApp, or email and tell me which country you're in. I accept PayPal, WeChat Pay and Alipay, and send you an unlock code within a day — usually much faster. Pay once, keep it forever.

Is my class data safe? Where is it stored?

Everything stays on your own device — in the browser's local storage. There are no ZippyTeach servers holding your students' names, and nothing is sent anywhere. You can also back up your data to a file and move it to another computer.

What does "works offline" actually mean?

Open the board once while you have internet. From then on, it loads from your device's own storage, so it keeps working through dropped school Wi-Fi, VPN outages, or a total blackout. (The very first visit needs a connection.)

Which devices does it work on?

Any computer or smartboard with Chrome or Edge — including Seewo and other classroom boards. The Android app (coming to Google Play) adds classroom tablets.

Can I try it before paying?

Yes — the Ocean Board is free for 2 classes for as long as you like, and every lesson pack has free games to try. Only pay when it's earning its place in your classroom.

The story behind ZippyTeach

I didn’t build ZippyTeach because I wanted to make an app.

I built it because I walked into a new school with eight classes, thirty children in each room, and a head full of names I was terrified I’d forget. I’d spent years studying education, but what I needed each morning was simpler: my students’ names where they sat, points they could see, class jobs they could own, games that made English feel like play, and one calm screen that could hold the day together.

So I made the tool I wished I had. It helped my classroom run better, and then other teachers started asking to use it. That’s when I realized I wasn’t the only one carrying too much with too little time.

ZippyTeach is my way of handing some of that weight back to teachers — built from a real classroom, for real classrooms.
