Widgets

Website

The Website widget lets you display any webpage, Google Slides, Padlet board, GeoGebra activity, or other online resource directly on your classroom screen. You can share real-time content with your whole class, keeping lessons interactive and focused.

Teachers use the Website widget to show instructions, model student work, run interactive activities, or share multimedia resources. It’s a quick way to bring outside content into your lesson without switching tabs or handing out extra links.
