Stop opening a different website for every transition. HomeRoom puts transition timers, a fair name picker, a whiteboard, sticky notes and today's learning target on one board, so the room keeps moving and you stay in front of your students.
Drop a timer next to your task and let students see the time left.
A name picker students can watch, so nobody argues it was rigged.
Whiteboard and sticky notes for quick modelling and anchor charts.
Your dashboard runs from local storage in your browser, so a dropped school connection won't freeze your timers mid-lesson.
The Free plan is $0 CAD. It saves new workspace edits in this browser and supports up to 5 active classes, 1 active unit plan and 3 active tasks. New teacher accounts start with a 60-day Pro trial, with no credit card or automatic charge. The timer and name picker are included.
