Classroom tools that work on a school network
Every tool above runs in the browser from this one domain. Students join the live tools with a short code or a QR code and never need an account. Teachers open most tools with a free ABC account; the Classroom Timer, Classroom Games, Live Quiz Show and Live Class Activities open with no sign-up, and Quick Poll lets you build a poll without an account (the teacher signs in once with a Google account to host it live, and students never sign in). The free tools in the list below, such as the CEFR Placement Quiz, Flashcards and the QR Code Maker, also open without one. If your school filter gets in the way, read classroom tools that work behind the school filter, which lists the exact domains to ask IT to allow.
