HTMLpad for teachers
Create a class link, share it with your students and every page they save appears on one class page, with their names. Nobody signs up, nobody installs anything and it works on school computers, tablets and phones. It is the way HTMLpad was used when it started: people learning HTML, writing pages and sharing them.
Create a class link
How it works in a lesson
- Create the link and share it on the board, in your learning platform or by email.
- Students open it, type their name and write their page. They see the result as they type.
- When they save, their pad appears on the class page. Open any of them to review it, or show one to the class.
Every pad has a Remix link, so you can publish a starting point and let each student build their own version from it. For examples to start from, the HTMLpad blog has guides on HTML files, editing and simple sites.
Safety
Each pad runs isolated from the others and from HTMLpad itself. Pages that ask for passwords or card numbers are refused. If anything inappropriate appears, you can report it and we will take it down.
Frequently asked questions
Do students need accounts or email addresses?
No. Students open the class link, type their name and save. Nobody signs up and nobody has to share an email address.
Who can see the class page?
Anyone who has the class link. It is not listed anywhere and search engines are asked not to index it, so share it only with your class.
How long do class pads last?
Pads stay online for 90 days, the same as any free pad, and the class page lasts for 180 days. Students can download their work as an .html file at any time.
