My Library: Everything You Create, All in One Place

December 3, 2025

The My Library page (formerly Recent) has been upgraded to make it easier to find and manage everything you create with Brisk.

What’s New

1. See all your Brisk-created content in one place: Resources now appear directly in My Library, including anything created through the Brisk Extension.

2. View all Brisk materials: All your Brisk-created content — Class Activities, Bundles, Podcasts, Documents, Presentations, and Forms — now live together in one streamlined view.

3. Search and load content more quickly: Search for any of your Brisk Creations to easily access resources.

4. Manage content without leaving the page: Use the three-dots menu on any item to open, rename, move, or edit in just one click.

5. Prefer Activities by class? No problem: You can still access class-organized Activities under the Activities tab. Bookmark the direct link if helpful: https://app.briskteaching.com/my_library?tab=activities

Bundles from the Extension

October 21, 2025

Create more at once — right from your Brisk Extension.

Turn one great resource into a full set of connected instructional materials — all from the Brisk Extension. Choose up to three materials to create (like guided notes, a presentation, or a podcast), and Brisk handles the heavy lift — giving you more time to focus on the learning that matters most.

Here’s how it works:

  1. Open Brisk over any resource of choice and Click Create.
  1. Select up to three instructional materials to create at once and click, Next.
  1. Add your details. Include standards, grade level, and customize each prompt. Then, Brisk It. Brisk builds classroom-ready materials designed for flexibility and quality.
  1. Review and refine. Everything saves together as one organized bundle in Google Drive — ready to teach, share, or personalize for your students.

Differentiate with Change Level and Translate

Every classroom is different — and your materials should meet every student where they are.

With Brisk, you can take any single resource you’ve created and adapt it to fit your learners:

  • Change Level to adjust reading level across up to three grades.
  • Translate into up to three languages to support multilingual students.

You can do this during creation when you build one resource from Create, or later using Change Level on any file of choice.

It’s a simple way to ensure every student can access the same high-quality learning — without starting over or juggling separate versions.

  • Adjust reading level across up to three grades to meet students where they are.
  • Translate any resource into up to three languages to support multilingual learners.

You can also select multiple grade levels and languages to translate to after selecting a resource from the Create menu.

With Bundles from the Extension, every teacher can create, adapt, and differentiate high-quality instructional materials — all in one place.

Batch Feedback

High-quality feedback, without the wait

Upload a folder of student work — essays, PDFs, even snapshots of math — and return personalized, teacher-reviewed feedback to your whole class while learning is still fresh.

With Batch Feedback you can:

  • Keep kids learning, not waiting. Students get guidance right away, while they’re still working through the material.
  • Close the timing gap. Typical turnaround is 2–3 weeks. With Batch Feedback, feedback lands within a day — exactly when it matters most.
  • Stay in control. Brisk drafts comments, you review and shape every word.
  • Work across formats. Essays, PDFs, lab reports, math photos — even Word docs uploaded through Google Drive.

  • Or, open Brisk Next from the Home icon and choose Batch Feedback at the top.

Add on for Batch Feedback: Rubric Scoring (School & District Accounts Only)

School and District partners have the option to add Rubric Scoring to Batch Feedback. Along with written feedback, Brisk can also generate scores based on the rubric you upload — making it easier to standardize grading across classes and track progress at scale.
