ClassroomScreen in Action: Mastering the Timetable and Stickers
Hi everyone, today I’m excited to walk you through two super helpful features of ClassroomScreen: the Timetable and Stickers. Whether you're an educator looking to organize your day or a fan of using visuals to boost engagement, these tools can make a big difference in your classroom. Let’s dive in!
1. Timetable: Organize Your Day with Ease
The Timetable feature is perfect for structuring your day and making transitions smooth for both you and your students. Here’s how you can set it up:
-
Open the Timetable:
Start by selecting the Timetable widget. If you don’t see it, click on the menu to add it. -
Set Up Your Day:
Click the Settings icon and type in the day of the week, for example, "Thursday." This is a great way to customize for your current schedule or adjust for special events or activities. -
Add Activities:
- Select Add Activity, then type in something like Morning Routine.
- Adjust the duration—say 10 minutes for a quick morning routine—and even add an icon, such as a coat hanger, for a visual cue.
- Add another activity, such as Library, and choose an icon like books to make it fun and engaging.
-
Personalize Your Timetable:
Change the color of each activity for quick visual distinction. You can also go back and adjust these settings anytime by clicking on the gear icon.
The Timetable ensures that both you and your students know what’s happening and when. It’s particularly useful during busy times or when schedules change unexpectedly.
2. Stickers: Add Fun and Positivity
Stickers are a fun way to liven up your ClassroomScreen and provide encouragement or feedback. Here’s how to use them effectively:
-
Explore Stickers:
Scroll through the selection of stickers to find ones that fit the mood or purpose. For example:- A cheerful Good Morning sticker for a warm start to the day.
- A Thumbs Up sticker to acknowledge great work or behavior.
-
Customize Placement:
- Drag and drop the sticker anywhere on your screen.
- Resize it or mirror it as needed. Stretch the sticker to make it more visible or fit a specific spot on your screen.
-
Layering Stickers:
- If you want to move a sticker behind or in front of another element, use the three dots menu to reorder layers. Select Send to Back or use the Control + Down Arrow shortcut.
This simple feature adds a personal, positive touch to your lessons, making the classroom environment more engaging and visually appealing.
Why Use These Features?
- Timetable: Keeps everyone on track and reduces confusion. It's especially helpful when you have younger students or a packed schedule.
