Library time for high school (grades 9–12)
Use this screen during library time to help high school students stay organized, choose books thoughtfully, and reflect on their reading choices. Students see clear steps, a visual timer, noise level symbols, and interactive tools for sharing ideas and taking turns.
The screen is easy to project and includes a checklist for book selection, a word cloud for favorite genres, and a random name picker to keep the process fair. Students can use their own devices to participate in polls and check off steps.
Free for teachers. Your screens, classes and uploads are saved to your account.
