yīn cái shī jiào — “teach according to the learner”
Build a Chinese lesson as a deck of slides, drop the dictionary and HSK lessons straight onto them, and present it full screen beside the call you already run.
Open the board No account needed — it opens with a lesson already on it.
It knows what you teach
Search the whole platform from the board and drag a result onto a slide. The card points at the real lesson rather than copying it, so it stays correct, and it opens for whoever has access to it. A generic whiteboard has no idea what HSK 3 lesson 7 is.
A deck, not one endless canvas
23 teaching widgets — character cards, stroke order, tone drills, a 田字格 grid, matching, cloze, a live poll, a timer — laid out on slides you move through in order. Six templates arrange them for you.
Made to be screen-shared
Present is full screen with no header, no panels and no pop-ups. Raised hands and chat appear as counts, never as text, so nothing a student types can land on a shared screen in front of the class.
What you can put on a slide
The board searches the whole platform. Everything below is already written, levelled and checked — you are arranging it, not authoring it.

A card points at the real thing rather than copying it, so it stays correct when the lesson is updated — and it opens for whoever has access to that lesson, which is what makes a shared board safe to hand to a class.
While you are teaching
Lesson Flow
Give each stage of the lesson a number of minutes and a slide, and a clock runs on the stage you are on, turning amber when it overruns. A 50-minute paid slot is a real constraint.
Present to a circle
Your students’ screens follow yours, slide by slide, with raised hands and room chat.
Print the deck
One page per slide as a PDF. An offline copy is what makes a new tool safe to risk on a paid lesson.
No video, by design
Keep running the call wherever you already do. Nothing to migrate, no recording consent to collect, and no camera in a room with children.
Draw on the slide
Circle a character, mark a tone, strike through the wrong answer. Ink is stored against the slide rather than your screen, so it lands in the same place on a projector.
Ask the room
Put a question on a slide and the answers come back live from the circle watching it — a quick check that everyone followed, without leaving the deck.
Who it is for
Tutors
One-to-few, live, in the call you already run. Build the deck between lessons and open it when the call starts.
Schools & academies
Shared decks across a department, over one curriculum. No video, no direct messages, moderated room chat — the answers a procurement questionnaire asks for.
Parents
Sit down with one child and a slide. Most of the board needs no teaching seat.
Learners on their own
Build a revision deck from the dictionary and the lessons you are working through. It is free and works signed out.
Common questions
No. The board opens with a complete example lesson and 8 of its 23 widgets available without signing in, and everything you build is saved in your browser. Signing in moves a board to your account so it follows you to another device, and lets you share it by link or present it to a circle.
No, and that is deliberate. The board is a companion to the call you already run on Zoom, Meet, italki or Preply — you share your screen and keep the call where it is. Leaving video out also removes recording consent and live-room moderation from a product used with children.
Dictionary entries, grammar points, HSK lessons, reading passages, listening exercises, culture articles and module lessons — 23 widgets in total, including stroke-order animation, tone cards, a 田字格 writing grid, matching games, cloze, a live poll, a timer and a random picker. A card points at the real content and resolves for whoever is looking at it, so a shared board never hands out paid material.
Yes. A lesson card can address a single section — the dialogue, the vocabulary, the grammar or the exercises — so you can put "HSK 3 lesson 7 exercises" on a slide rather than the whole lesson.
Share a board by unlisted link, or present it to one of your circles so their screens follow yours. Content resolves under each viewer’s own access, so a free learner sees locked cards where a paid lesson would be rather than the lesson itself.
Yes. Dragging, resizing and drawing use pointer events, so a finger and a stylus work the same as a mouse. Below 900px the editing rail is hidden and the board is for presenting, following and drawing.
Open it and put a character on a slide.
It takes about ten seconds, and nothing asks you to sign up first.
