How does it work?
AndWhat turns the screen time students are already spending into quick revision moments. It's simple to use, easy to set up, and designed to support learning without adding extra study pressure.
How it works
Four steps. Under a minute to set up. Simple from the start.
Your teacher uploads questions
They create a question set from class material and get a unique code to share with the class.
Grab AndWhat’s Key
Students download the free AndWhat’s Key extension from the Chrome Web Store.
Enter the code
Students enter their teacher’s code into the extension. No sign-up, email, or password required.
Browse like normal
When they visit a gated site, one short question appears. They answer it and move on.
So what does the gating actually do?
A gated site is any site your teacher flags, such as YouTube, social platforms, gaming pages, or other common distractions during study time.
Students are not blocked or locked out. When they land on one of these sites, a single question from their current classwork appears. They answer it, the site opens as normal, and a distraction becomes a quick revision opportunity.

Why schools and kura use it
Supports students who drift
Students who disengage, skip steps, or fall behind still encounter regular reinforcement linked to current class content. It gives teachers another way to keep students connected to learning, even when focus drops away.
Easy to trial
One teacher can start a pilot quickly, without complex IT onboarding or student account creation. Schools and kura can then decide whether the tool fits their own review, privacy, and risk processes.
Built for NCEA assessment periods
Question sets can be updated as topics change, helping students revisit the right material at the right time. That makes the tool useful across regular classwork, internal assessments, and external assessment periods.
Works with teaching, not against it
AndWhat supports existing classroom practice. It is designed to reinforce teaching, not replace lessons or require teachers to change how they teach.
Try AndWhat in your classroom — free for 30 days.
No payment or long-term commitment required. Teachers can sign up with their name, email, and school, begin using the pilot straight away, and evaluate whether it fits their teaching practice and school context.
It's not just about grades.
It's also about how students are doing.
Once a day, students receive a short check-in. It's not a survey or a lecture, just a simple prompt designed to help them pause, reflect, and feel supported.
Pick something that's on your mind
Students can choose a topic and see the kind of short question and supportive response the platform provides.
