ClassroomScreen.com is a free online tool which brings together a host of useful tools for the classroom into one screen display.

What does it do?

Choose your own background, bring up a timer, set a traffic light for any activity, choose pupils with a random name generator, add text instructions on screen, set visual noise level measure, draw on a whiteboard, have pupils click on the classroom response tool on the screen for any question you ask to display quick feedback. And if teaching another language just a quick flick and the language changes  to suit. So much in one screen, and you can move the tools around, switch them on or off as needed and change the background to suit the activity.

 

Why is it useful?

Created by Netherlands teacher Laurens Koppers to meet his own classroom needs for such an all-in-one tool, he understood that sometimes in teaching we need a set of specific tools depending on the lesson or the cohort. This allows the teacher to select a custom set of tools suited to their learning and teaching context to scaffold and support learning.
