How to share a lesson
Sharing produces a link. Send it however you already talk to that student, and they see the lesson update live while you teach.
The steps
- Click Share.
- A popup appears containing the lesson link.
- Copy it and send it to your student.
There is no invitation flow and no account matching to get wrong — it is a URL, and it goes through whatever channel you already use with that student. Most teachers paste it into the chat of the video call they are already on.
Send it at the start, not the end
This is the part worth getting right, and it is the opposite of how most teachers handle notes.
If you send the link at the end, the student receives a finished document — a summary of something that already happened. They will skim it once.
If you send it at the start, the student watches it fill up. Every sentence you capture appears on their screen as you discuss it, with the transcription and phonetics attached. Two things follow from that:
They stop taking dictation. A student writing things down is not listening, and their handwritten version is usually wrong in exactly the places that matter — the spelling they guessed, the sound they misheard. Remove the need and you get their attention back.
The document becomes shared property. They watched it being built, so it is a record of their lesson rather than homework handed down. That difference in ownership shows up in whether it gets opened on Thursday.
Afterwards
The link is the student’s copy. It does not expire at the end of the call, and it is what they review from during the week — which is the whole reason the sentences carry audio rather than just text.
The habit that makes it stick is opening the next lesson from the previous link, for the first two minutes. Students study what gets checked, and a document that is never revisited is correctly understood as optional. The full argument, and the four-block note format that survives this treatment, is in lesson notes students actually reuse.
Frequently asked questions
How do I share a Teachee lesson with my student?
Click Share. A popup appears with the lesson link. Copy it and send it through whatever you normally use with that student — email, WhatsApp, the chat in your video call.
When should I send the link?
At the start of the lesson, not the end. The point is that the student watches the document fill up in real time rather than receiving a finished artefact afterwards.
Do I need to re-share every lesson?
Each lesson is its own document with its own URL, so each one has its own link. Sending it at the start of the call takes a few seconds and doubles as the "we're starting" signal.
Can the student still see it after the lesson?
Yes — the link is their copy of the session, which is the point. It is what they review from during the week.
