PiztuPiztu is a specific customization of the Zettlr software, into which code modifications have been introduced. Zettlr is a general-purpose Markdown file editor, a project developed and programmed by the German Hendrik Erz, distributed under the GPL-3.0 license.
I want to express my gratitude to Hendrik for his exceptional work, without which it would not have been possible to develop Piztu. Therefore, the credit for Piztu largely goes to him. You can find more information about the Zettlr project at:
It is worth noting that Piztu is an adaptation of the Zettlr program, designed specifically to be a useful tool for teachers. As will be explained later, it can be easily customized to adapt to other groups and professional activities.
It is important to note that if you install a Zettlr update, you will lose all of Piztu’s specific functionalities.
And what can Piztu do for us in our teaching work? Here are some of its possibilities:
- A text editor
- A system for organizing student and subject information
- Management of incidents and classroom notes
- Subject diary by sessions
- Automated creation of tutoring reports
- Creation of follow-ups for teaching units
- Editing the department’s minute book
- Final course report
- An AI editor for creating didactic material, assignments, exams
- A multi-language translator
- Curriculum tracking
- Editing in Markdown and LaTeX
