🚀 Classwise in action – pilot launches in LabOOOratorium schools!

We are joining the LabOOOratorium programme run by the Polish National Education Operator. Teachers and pupils from seven primary schools will be exploring the capabilities of Classwise in real classroom environments.

What are we evaluating?
✅ Use of Classwise during lessons and comparison with traditional teaching methods
✅ Impact on pupil engagement and comprehension of material
✅ Pupil progress based on data and reports
✅ Teachers' genuine feedback – whether it makes their work faster, easier, and more efficient

Why does this matter to us?
Classwise was created to deliver genuine support for learning – and the best validation comes from those for whom we've built it. The findings will be compiled into a report demonstrating how the tool impacts teachers' workload and pupils' progress 🎓

The first trials are already in progress!
We'll be sharing insights and feedback straight from the schools!

Photon Education featured in an official Microsoft Customer Story 🚀
For us, this is more than just a publication. It’s a validation that the problem we’re solving is real and global.

It all started with a frustration familiar to every teacher: drained tablets, unreliable internet connections, and the daily challenge of keeping students focused.

Today, Classwise supports:
🏫 3,000+ classrooms across Europe
👩‍🏫 10,500+ teachers
🎓 200,000+ students with progress analytics
📝 1,000,000+ quiz participants

💬 "Our goal was to empower teachers and students with the latest in educational technology. We wanted to simplify digitalization in classrooms to make it a place that teachers and students love coming back to every day. And I think we did it."
– Marcin Joka, CEO Photon Education

But what makes us most proud is something else: over two-thirds of the materials on the platform are now created by teachers for teachers 💙
This is the moment when a product becomes a community.
