Mr Computer EdTech is a research startup dedicated to eliminating the administrative burden on educators. Our Smart Overlay is lightning fast. It provides the absolute quickest way to log classroom data and behaviour without stopping your lesson, handling the busy work so you can focus on your true purpose: Teaching.
Request DemoA system-agnostic sidebar that floats natively above your PowerPoint, interactive whiteboard, or browser. Your class data remains visible at a glance, no matter what you are presenting.
Award positive reinforcement or issue warnings with a single click from the floating widget. Eliminate the "Toggle Tax" of switching tabs and losing classroom focus.
Manage classroom behavior silently. The minimalist interface allows for instant, real-time logging without breaking your instructional momentum or drawing attention away from the lesson.
The overlay can be as minimal as a single floating icon. Easily add custom Quick Actions like an instant parent communication button that sits discreetly over your lesson without cluttering the screen.
The app floats over your PowerPoint, so you never lose sight of your class management.
Built from the ground up to meet the strict safeguarding and data protection requirements of UK schools and Multi-Academy Trusts.
We believe schools should have absolute control over their student information. Our architecture lets you choose your own backend—whether that is Microsoft Teams, Bromcom, Arbor, or SIMS. We act strictly as a secure front-end overlay, letting the platforms you already trust handle the data management.
Designed with privacy by default. Because our software operates purely as an interface rather than a data host, we never store or harvest your student records. By not holding the data, we adhere to all UK data protection regulations without introducing any new data silos to your school.
We know that in education, trust must be earned. For total peace of mind, we invite your school's IT team and developers to review our source code. We are proud to prove firsthand that our architecture is secure and that zero student data is retained on our end.
The "Toggle Tax" and Teacher Burnout
Teacher burnout is driven by systemic fragmentation. During live lessons, educators must juggle teaching with digital tasks like behavior logging and attendance. We call this the Toggle Tax: the cognitive cost paid every time a teacher shifts focus from a student to a screen.
The Micro-Interruption Cycle
Even brief screen interactions create a Micro-Interruption Cycle that breaks instructional momentum. Fragmented instruction is "staccato" and reactive, whereas fluid instruction maintains a "legato" classroom flow through continuous engagement and low-friction actions.
Redefining the Digital Interface
Our goal is not to replace existing school systems, but to evolve how we interact with them. The classroom computer should function as a Smart Assistant—a workflow-embedded extension of the teacher, rather than a workstation that demands constant attention.
The Mr Computer Solution
Mr Computer EdTech is a research-led prototype designed to reduce friction. By enabling rapid administrative actions without disengaging from pupils, we protect the "flow state" of teaching and ensure digital systems support live instruction rather than fragmenting it.
We are researching the impact of admin automation. Teachers across the UK are sharing why they need this tool in their classrooms.
