Classroomscreen is a cloud-based digital classroom screen for teachers. The screen provides teachers a tool to connect with students more effectively by using the screen to display assignment instructions, notes, knowledge games and group instructions. The platform offers a variety of different widgets such as background options, group creation, sound, media, drawing tool, stop watch and many more.
With ClassroomScreen, there a number of digital widgets teachers can project onto a screen for the entire class. Select a language and background to get started, and then place the desired widget where students can view it easily. Use the clock, timer, group selector, traffic light, and sound level tools to guide independent work or enhance the flow of group work. Be sure to use the text and drawing tools to add context to instructions. And if you're using the random name generator, click to save the inputted names into a text file for later use.
