Screen sets for lessons
Screen sets help you organize your lesson with several classroom screens grouped together. Each screen can have its own timers, instructions, polls, or activities. With one click or a presentation remote, you can move from your morning meeting slide to a timer, a poll, or a game—just like flipping through slides, but with interactive classroom tools built in.
You can use ready-made templates or create your own set, choosing backgrounds, video loops, and widget styles to fit your group. Add pinned widgets like a noise meter or clock to stay visible on every screen. Share your screen set by link, and let students join polls or exit tickets on their phones without any accounts.
Why teachers like it
