Classroom Screen Display Tool for Educators

Projectors and Flat Screens have become an integral tool in many teacher's classrooms. I use my projector and screen daily to display objectives and instructions. It also sometimes serves as a backchannel, a timer, or a focus point for students at different points during classroom activities. I have traditionally used Google Slides as my palette for everything I display in class, but recently I discovered a great tool with some incredible features.

ClassroomScreen


ClassroomScreen includes some great features, including:

  • Language – Choose from a variety of languages. 
  • Background – You can use one of the incredible images on the site or upload your own. 
  • Random Name – Enter student names or upload a .txt file to create a quick random name picker. 
  • Sound Level – Let the class know if it is getting too loud. 
  • QR Code –  Share an url with a QR code. 
  • Drawing Tool and Upload Image – A Digital whiteboard. You can also upload an image an annotate it. 
  • Text – Insert a text box on your screen with basic word processing tools.
  • Work Symbols – Symbols to remind students if and how they should be collaborating: Silence, Whisper, Ask Neighbor, or Work Together.
  • Traffic Light – Red, Yellow or Green.
  • Timer – Countdown timer and stopwatch.
  • Clock and Calendar – A  clock that also shows the date.
  • Exit Poll – Quick poll to check student understanding.
