Scoreboard
The scoreboard widget lets you track points for teams or individual students on your classroom screen. You can add, subtract, or reset points with a click, and everyone can see the current scores projected at the front of the room.
Teachers use the scoreboard during games, team challenges, review sessions, or anytime you want to encourage participation and teamwork. It helps keep students motivated and engaged by making progress visible and celebrating effort.
Ways teachers use it
- Keep score during quiz games or review competitions.
- Track table points for following classroom expectations.
- Reward participation in morning meetings or discussions.
- Use as a behavior incentive throughout the day.
- Make exit tickets competitive by awarding points for thoughtful answers.
