Publishing homework

How to write and send the weekly letter. Five minutes, once a week.

Before you start — nothing is saved. Write the letter and save the PDF in one sitting. If you close the tab, what you typed is gone.

Tap your class
Go to cmsj-hindi-toolkit.pages.dev and tap your class. It remembers, so next week you land straight on it.
Pick the week
It opens on today's class. A tick means that week is already written.
Type what you did in class
One short line each, in the order you taught them.
Learned the ऋ matra, pages 18–20
Type the homework
One line each. Begin with a label and a colon to get a neat column.
Reading: pages 18–20
Check the letter
It updates as you type. The date, room, what to bring and the next class fill themselves in. The greeting at the top is yours to change or clear.
Save it and put it in Drive
Press Print / PDF, choose Save as PDF, and drop it in your class folder. Leave the scale at 100% so it stays on one page. Need a Word file instead? Download .docx.

Typing in Hindi. Click into any box and a small Hindi bar appears at the bottom-left.

Press अ Type in Hindi, then spell it the way it sounds: aaj humne swar sikhe becomes आज हमने स्वर सीखे. Press Insert to put it straight into the letter. Please don't type students' names here — the words are sent to Google to be converted.
For numbers, select one and press ⌘⇧H for ३०, or ⌘⇧S for तीस.

Worth knowing

Nothing is saved	Finish the letter and save the PDF in one sitting. Closing the tab loses it.
No sign-in	Nothing to install, nothing to log into. Only Hindi typing and the Word download need internet.
On your phone	The boxes and the letter stack one above the other. Fine for posting homework straight after class.
