Classroom Screen for Classroom Management

Do you use your smartboard to show a variety of tools as part of a lesson?  For example, giving students a timer and indicating the countdown for how long they have to complete the task?  Or maybe you want to do a random name choice to choose a volunteer.  Maybe you keep a traffic light in your room to indicate appropriate volume level while working.

Classroom screen has combined these all into one place and made a toolbar to quickly bring up these options.  When you have this page open in chrome, your page will look like this:

The menu at the bottom allows you to add different options on the screen.  They are:

• Language - change to another language such as Spanish or French!
• Random name - import your class list and choose a random volunteer
• Sound level - allow it access to your computer microphone and it will show when the volume is getting too loud
• QR code - tell it a web address and the kids can scan the code on the screen to go to a certain website (K and 1, this is GREAT!)
• Drawing - draw function, similar to the smartboard tools
• Text - same idea
• Work symbols - another volume management, but with the options for "Silence", "Whisper", "Ask a neighbor" and "Work together"

• Traffic light - volume control
• Timer - Start a countdown and tell those kids how much time they have to do a task / break out / etc
• Clock - give the time (analog and digital)

This has great possibilities to help manage class flow.  Check it out and let me know what you think!
