What you can browse here
18 tools in this collection
Each tool below is built for live teaching: open it on the board, explain the rule once, and get students into the activity without account setup. Prefer depth over novelty — pick one routine and make it familiar.
How to choose a tool from this hub
Start with the classroom job, not the feature list. If you need pacing, open a timer. If you need fair participation, open a randomiser. If you need retrieval energy, open a quiz game. Then keep the activity short enough that the tool supports the learning rather than replacing it.
