Our technology coach showed us this awesome free website. It’s called Classroom Screen. I use it in my classroom daily. It’s the perfect resource that has plenty of tools available on one screen. All you need is a computer, projector, and internet connection.
First, I want to
point out that you have access to several different languages. It converts the
text into the language of choice. That’s an excellent opportunity, especially
if you teach a foreign language. I think about one of my friends from Louisiana.
She’s a Spanish teacher and this would be a perfect tool for her to use in her
classroom.
You have the choice to set the background. There are many
crisp, clear images that can be used. There are also solid color backgrounds as
an option to reduce distraction. My favorite part about this section is you can
upload your own image. This allows me to upload images based on the seasons,
holidays, or topic discussed in class.
There are several
tools available. The best part is it’s all on one screen at a time. The creator
really had a classroom teacher in mind. It’s so nice to not have to bounce back
and forth between several different windows. I know that there are many
wonderful tools integrated in different software programs. I have found that
for me personally, this site has everything I need in one easy location.
If you haven’t tried classroomscreen.com, I highly recommend
you check it out. You won’t be disappointed. Here’s what my classroom screen
looks like this morning.
