I’ve been teaching in Korea for years, and one thing that’s saved me a ton of prep time—especially with mixed-level elementary groups—is making small HTML teaching tools. Stuff like quick reading passages with comprehension checks, drag-and-drop vocab activities, phonics games, and simple speaking prompts that run right in the browser.
A lot of us here are juggling big schedules, limited materials, and classes that move fast. I figured it might help to have a place where teachers can share these lightweight tools or ask for specific ones. So I started r/htmlteachingtools.
It’s for anyone who wants:
• simple, no-install classroom activities
• easy digital warm-ups and time-fillers
• tools that work on tablets, TVs, Zoom, or in-person
• examples you can adapt or remix
• a place to swap ideas without the whole “create a full curriculum” pressure
If you’re teaching in Japan and want quick, flexible resources—or you’re building your own—I’d love to have you there. The goal is just to make lesson prep a bit lighter.
