Classroomscreen

This tool was suggested by Judith Henderson at GHS. Classroomscreen is an excellent tool for teachers looking to use a single screen tab in a classroom. Instead of moving from one tab that has the day’s instructions/objective on it to another one with a timer, or video, or volume detector, teachers can have it all in one visually appealing place in classroomscreen. With Classroomscreen teachers can choose a visually appealing background, input student names into a random name generator, have a decibel noise lever reader that shows the whole class when things are getting too loud, put up daily notes and objectives, take quick polls, embed videos, draw on their screen, and set a timer that has an on-screen countdown. This tool is great for organizing your lessons and keeping students up to speed on what they can expect for the day all in one place.
