Build a visual paper.

Choose the Early Years example, or generate with an Early Years / Primary paper style. In Edit & review, open Pictures, tables & answer spaces for each question. Add original line illustrations, exact counting objects, tables, matching columns, tracing outlines, drawing boxes or writing lines.

PNG/JPEG uploads are compressed on your device and embedded in the saved paper. Use pictures you own or have permission to use. Check the picture description and captions do not reveal the answer. Pictures are not sent to the AI for recognition.

Use Paper layout & header for a school name, logo, exam heading and reading size. Marks & section sets each question’s marks and can start a named section with its own instructions. Reorder or duplicate questions, then check their wording and marks. Preview both copies. Use a new printed page for a large question, and check the print preview before giving the paper to children.

Counting and matching answer keys follow the visible objects and pairs. This does not prove age suitability or that the task matches your lesson. Tracing outlines are practice guides, not a handwriting curriculum.

Bring the lesson you taught.

Paste notes with clear definitions, examples and explanations. Choose a subject and class level, then set the question count, format and marks.

For format or thinking level, choose Describe my own to enter instructions in your own words. Custom preferences guide the AI; review that they were followed. Start with 3–6 questions. More questions need richer notes and can take longer to generate. Questions are worth equal marks; marking points divide those marks.

Read the answer and its evidence.

In Edit & review, check that each answer is correct, the question is clear, and the quote actually supports it. You can change wording, options, expected answers and marking points.

A quote appearing in your notes does not prove the answer is correct. The checks catch counts, exact duplicates and mark totals, not every factual or teaching mistake.

Save a draft you can reopen.

Choose Save on this device. My drafts keeps up to 30 assessments. Reopening a paper resets its approval so you review it before using it again.

Download JSON for an editable backup. Import that file on My drafts when you want to use another browser or device. Use School workspace for accounts, shared departmental papers and independent approval.

Print the right copy.

Confirm that you reviewed the paper, then choose Student paper or Marking guide. Print / PDF opens your browser’s print dialog, where you can save a PDF.

The student view omits the teacher answer blocks. The marking guide includes answers, point allocations and source quotes. Any edit resets your review confirmation.

What happens to my notes?

Generating sends your notes and settings to Google’s hosted Gemma service. Avoid student names, grades and confidential records. Generation does not save your lesson notes. Sending a paper to School workspace stores its notes and questions in your school’s database.

A saved draft includes your notes in this browser’s storage or exported JSON. Removing a saved draft does not delete files you already downloaded.

When generation fails

The app retries a temporary server error once, then can try another Gemma model. Both use Google, so a provider-wide outage may affect both.

Quota, access and timeout messages have different codes. Keep the error reference if you need help. Your previous open paper is preserved when a new generation request fails.

Start from instructions, without notes.

In Assessment source, choose Instructions / topic. Select an education stage from Nursery / Kindergarten through postgraduate or adult education, specify the exact class or course, and describe the scope. Use an example for your stage to get started. The model uses general knowledge without browsing. Check answer rationales independently; they are not verified source quotes. The same visual editor, question bank, school review, logo upload and printing tools remain available.

Exam, test or fresh questions from your past work.

In Create assessment, choose Exam or Test. These are paper presets; they do not start an online timed test. Under Assessment source, choose Past questions to select saved questions from this browser. No new notes need to be pasted: their retained original lesson notes provide the evidence for new AI questions. Select 1–10 references from the same subject and class. Generation still needs an internet connection and available provider quota.

Reuse a question.

In Edit & review, choose Save question to bank. Add a topic and optional term, then confirm you checked the question, answer and evidence. Question bank stores up to 50 questions on this browser, with source notes and visuals. Export a backup to move or recover them on another device.

Select 3–20 questions from the same subject and class, in the order you want. Give the new paper a title and duration, then create it. The new device draft keeps answers and source evidence, but needs its own sections, heading and review. The bank does not represent school approval.

Review school versions and reuse approved work.

On a school paper, use What changed between versions to inspect accessible copies. Feedback appears beside the question it refers to. An independent reviewer checks each question and confirms the review before approving. Check progress belongs to that reviewer, version and tab; it is not an approval itself.

School question bank lists approved copies your account can read. Select questions and create your own new draft, with source credit retained. The source approval does not approve the new paper. Open approved-copy links when you need the version that was checked.

Check your printed paper.

Print / PDF becomes available after review. Student paper and Marking guide print separately. Page-number footers use browser paged-media support; current Chrome supports this. Disable the browser’s own Headers and footers to avoid a second footer. Always inspect the print preview, especially section headings, images and page breaks.
