Blur your screen
Need to momentarily hide your screen from students? Whether it's to conceal upcoming instructions, surprise them with a brain break, or keep them focused, there's a quick fix. This trick keeps students engaged while you prepare the next part of your lesson.
Press ‘1’ on your keyboard to hide the entire screen instantly - just press any key or click the screen to bring it back.
Hiding widgets
A cluttered screen can be overwhelming, especially when using multiple widgets at once. If you need more space without deleting anything. This keeps your screen organized while allowing you to focus on the most important elements of your lesson.
Drag widgets off-screen and a button will appear at the edge of the screen, letting you bring the widget back when needed. Need even more space? Just press CNTR + ENTER to create a whole new screen!
Pin your widgets
Save time and maintain continuity across lessons by using the Pin feature. Pinned widgets appear on every screen in a screen deck, which is perfect for keeping timers, reminders, or instructions visible as you switch between lesson slides. This ensures a seamless learning experience—no need to re-add the same widget multiple times!
If your lesson has 4 different parts, pin your timetable, a clock, and calendar on the first screen and they will appear on all subsequent screens.
Spotlighting
Sometimes, all it takes is a spotlight to direct attention where it's needed most. The Spotlight setting does just that, allowing you to highlight specific content or areas of interest with ease.
Just select ‘Spotlight’ in the widget options to expand it, letting it take center stage. Hit ‘Esc’ to shrink it back down again.
