Features

Five classroom tools. One shared place to run them.

My Class Place gives teachers practical tools for everyday classroom moments, including checking understanding, organizing requests, supporting voice-level goals, building classroom challenges, and making schedules more predictable. Teachers create a class once, then use the same student roster and PIN system across the connected tools.

What the tools share

Each tool solves a different classroom problem, but teachers should not have to rebuild their class every time they open a new one. My Class Place uses a common classroom foundation across the site.

One class roster

Create the class and student list once, then use it throughout the connected tools.

Simple student access

Students join with a class code and assigned PIN instead of needing individual email accounts.

Teacher and public views

Teachers keep management controls while students or the projected display see only the information intended for them.

Saved records

Tools that collect session information include history or saved-session areas for later review.

Consistent navigation

Teachers can return to the selected class, Students & PINs, tool history, and public displays without hunting through the site.

Designed for real classrooms

The tools are meant to reduce interruptions and repeated setup, not give teachers one more complicated system to babysit.

Shapes

A visual response system that lets every student answer at the same time.

Purpose

Shapes helps teachers check understanding, collect opinions, sort responses, and notice patterns without relying only on the quickest hands in the room. Each student receives a unique marker and moves it to the part of the board that represents their answer. The teacher can watch responses appear in real time and decide whether the class is ready to move on, needs another example, or has collectively wandered into the wrong answer choice.

Useful for

Quick checks for understanding during instruction
Multiple-choice questions, agree-or-disagree prompts, and confidence checks
Warm-ups, exit checks, predictions, voting, and discussion starters
Anonymous-looking public participation while the teacher retains the teacher-side view

Features

Teacher Board and Public Board views placed side by side for quick access
Unique student markers that can be regenerated when needed
Prepared question bank plus teacher-created prompts
Multiple response areas and visual layouts
Optional timers and automatic session saving
Live teacher view of student locations and responses
Public display that shows the class activity without exposing teacher-only details
Saved sessions for later review
Downloadable session results and combined exports
Student access through the same class code and PIN used throughout My Class Place

Queue

A calm, organized way for students to ask for help without forming a line beside your desk.

Purpose

Queue gives students a private, structured way to submit classroom requests while the teacher continues teaching, conferencing, or helping other students. Teachers decide which request types are available, students choose what they need, and the teacher sees an ordered live list. It replaces raised hands, whispered interruptions, desk-side traffic jams, and the mysterious student who has been standing beside you long enough to become part of the furniture.

Useful for

Requests for help, work checks, technology support, or teacher conferences
Restroom, water, supply, or other teacher-approved classroom requests
Managing independent work periods and small-group rotations
Keeping requests visible to the teacher without publicly identifying the student’s need

Features

Teacher-defined request categories
Live teacher queue ordered by submission time
Public Queue display for classroom projection
Student status updates showing that a request is waiting, resolved, frozen, or closed
Resolve controls with optional sound feedback
Required session timer when opening a queue
Teacher choice to freeze requests or clear and close the queue when time expires
Countdown display with controls to add time
Session history and individual session review
Downloadable queue session records
Automatic student-page updates without requiring constant refreshing
Students & PINs access directly from the Queue navigation

Noise

A positive visual challenge that helps a class practice an expected voice level.

Purpose

Noise turns classroom volume into a visible group goal rather than a repeated stream of reminders. The teacher selects the expected voice level, sensitivity, scoring options, and visual theme. The public display responds as the class works toward the goal, helping students monitor the room together. It is less “Please lower your voices for the seventeenth time” and more “Let’s keep the airplane moving.”

Useful for

Independent work, partner work, centers, testing, and quiet reading
Teaching the difference between silence, whisper voices, and collaborative voices
Building group awareness without singling out individual students
Running short challenges or longer classroom work sessions

Features

Selectable expected voice levels
Adjustable microphone sensitivity and scoring settings
Public visual display with classroom-friendly animation
Choice of visual themes and flying objects
Teacher score-only option
Custom session names and goals
Live session score and progress information
Teacher controls for starting, monitoring, and ending a session
Saved settings so teachers do not have to rebuild the same setup every time
Noise session history and downloadable session records
Students & PINs and History links kept in the same tool navigation

Guild Goals

A flexible classroom challenge system for teamwork, recognition, levels, badges, and rewards.

Purpose

Guild Goals helps teachers build community and reinforce classwide or group goals through themed challenges. Students can belong to guilds, earn points, unlock badges, progress through levels, and work toward rewards. Teachers can create more than one challenge for a class and manage one challenge at a time. The result feels more like a shared classroom quest and less like a spreadsheet wearing a party hat.

Useful for

Classroom participation, preparedness, teamwork, routines, and behavior goals
Short-term challenges, ongoing class systems, and special events
Individual recognition within a larger group goal
One-class challenges or Global Guild Goals Challenges involving multiple classes

Features

Multiple challenges may be created for the same class
Guild-based scoring with teacher-awarded points
Individual student points alongside guild totals
Custom badges and badge-awarding tools
Levels and progression systems
Teacher-created rewards
Live event stream showing points, badges, and challenge activity
Public Board for displaying guild progress
Theme options designed for different ages and classroom styles
Challenge history and access to ended challenges

Public views that focus on guild progress rather than exposing unnecessary student details
Public Guild Headquarters pages with stories, guardian animals, colors, shields, and downloadable galleries

Flow

A visual schedule and transition system that shows students what is happening now and what comes next.

Purpose

Flow helps teachers create predictable visual schedules for a class, group, or selected students. A schedule can follow clock times or intervals, use built-in icons or teacher-uploaded images, and advance manually or automatically. Teachers can prepare transition sounds or recorded voice prompts and show the schedule on a Public View. It reduces repeated “What are we doing next?” questions, although it cannot yet stop a student from asking while visibly standing under the answer.

Useful for

Daily classroom schedules and changing routines
Centers, intervention blocks, testing schedules, assemblies, and special events
Supporting students who benefit from predictability and visual information
Individual or small-group schedules that differ from the whole-class plan

Features

Clock-time schedules and interval-based schedules
Built-in activity icons in a compact, easy-to-scan library
Teacher-uploaded images for familiar rooms, people, activities, or materials
Drag-and-arrange schedule sequences
Editable activities, times, durations, and transitions
Manual and automatic advancement
Pause, resume, back, next, and end controls
Public View for classroom projection
Optional student access to assigned schedules
Schedules assigned to selected students or groups
Multiple active schedules when different students or groups need different plans
Optional transition sounds such as a bell, gong, or soft alert
Teacher-recorded voice transition prompts
Saved schedules that can be reopened and reused
Teacher and Public View controls kept directly accessible from the top of the tool
