Description: ClasroomScreen is a tool for managing classrooms and in-person settings. It is essentially a display board or digital screen into which many useful widgets can be integrated, such as an instruction box, a stopwatch, a timer, a random name picker, or a noise level controller, among others. All of these can then appear simultaneously on the same screen. Teachers of all subjects and grade levels can use it to create a more engaging learning environment, particularly as a visual tool for group work. It was developed by Laurens Koppers and is available for free with no account signup required, although doing so allows users to save settings.
Evaluation: ClassroomScreen is a straightforward, practical tool which helps teachers manage their in-person classes more efficiently, while also making learning more engaging and interactive for students. It does not take more than ten minutes to set up a personalised ClassroomScreen, and with an account, these are saved and can be used later on. Only basic IT skills are required. Besides the YouTube tutorial above, this material could be helpful.

Respect for privacy What data does the tool collect and why? What security measures are there? GDPR compliant? : Medium. ClassroomScreen collects only data relevant, and this aligns with the principle of data minimization. However, it also collects cookies for the running of the website, some of them without user consent. Its privacy policy mentions the right to object and withdraw consent and exercise data protection rights, such as the right to access, rectify, and erase data. The policy mentions that personal data is processed within the European Union / EEA and outlines the use of additional safeguards for data transferred to other countries, but does not explicitly mention compliance with specific data protection laws like GDPR.
