If you’ve ever stood at your computer with Google Slides open, a YouTube tab playing, a timer pulled up, a random name picker running, and a behavior chart somewhere else, you already know the problem:

Teaching today requires too many tabs.

Display Boards were built to solve that.

They’re not another slide deck.
They’re not Canva with extra steps.
And they’re definitely not PowerPoint in disguise.

Display Boards are interactive classroom display pages designed to replace daily slides and centralize everything you use during instruction—without the learning curve.

What Are Display Boards?

Think of a Display Board as one flexible teaching canvas where you can:

Draw or write live
Embed YouTube videos
Display PDFs and visuals
Add interactive widgets (timers, polls, random pickers, behavior tools)
Control the entire lesson from one screen

All without switching platforms.

Instead of juggling 10 tools, you use one board.

Why Display Boards Are Better Than PowerPoint or Google Slides

Let’s be honest:
Slides were never designed for real classrooms.

Here’s where Display Boards win—every time.

1. They’re Built for Teaching, Not Presenting

PowerPoint and Slides assume:

You’re talking at people
Content is static
Interaction is optional

Display Boards assume:

You’re managing a room full of students
Transitions matter
Engagement drops fast

Everything on a Display Board is teacher-controlled, live, and adjustable in real time.

2. No More Tab Chaos

With Display Boards, you can place all of this on one screen:

A clock or timer
A YouTube video
Your agenda or notes
A random name picker
A behavior management tool

No more:

“Hold on, let me pull that up.”
Losing student attention while you click around
Switching between platforms mid-lesson

It’s one board. One screen. One flow.

3. Drag-and-Drop Widgets (No Tech Confidence Required)

Display Boards are intentionally simple.

You don’t need:

Design skills
Slide animations
Fancy formatting

You just:

Open a board
Drag a widget
Teach

This is why tech-shy teachers actually like them—and tech-confident teachers use them faster.

The Most Useful Display Board Widgets (And Why Teachers Love Them)

Here are the widgets that make Display Boards actually work in classrooms.

Timer & Clock

Perfect for:

Bell ringers
Centers
Transitions
Independent work

Students can see the time, which cuts down on constant questions.

YouTube Video Embed

Instead of switching tabs, you can:

Embed videos directly on the board
Pause, play, and discuss without leaving your lesson

This is especially helpful for:

Mini lessons
Review clips
Brain breaks

Random Name Picker

This removes:

Accidental bias
Calling on the same students
“I didn’t get picked” arguments

It keeps participation fair and visible.

Traffic Light (Behavior Management)

This widget quietly does what verbal reminders can’t.

Green = you’re good
Yellow = check yourself
Red = we need to reset

It’s visual, consistent, and doesn’t interrupt instruction.

Dice Roller & Fun Widgets

Great for:

Review games
Math practice
Quick decision-making

The goal isn’t flash — it’s engagement without chaos.

How Teachers Use Display Boards Daily

Display Boards are flexible enough to work across K–12, depending on the subject.

Morning Meeting

Agenda
Timer
Greeting or question
Embedded video or prompt

Everything students need to start the day is already on the board.

Review & Instruction

Notes or drawings
Embedded videos
Dice or picker for review questions

No slide hopping. No prep overload.

Behavior Management

Traffic light
Sound level
Visual expectations

These tools support classroom management without constant verbal reminders.

Can Display Boards Replace Daily Slides?

Yes — and that’s the point.

Display Boards:

Replace daily slides
Can be duplicated and reused
Are displayed teacher-side (no student accounts needed)

You build once, reuse often, and tweak as needed.

Are Display Boards Hard to Learn?

No — and that’s intentional.

If you can:

Drag and drop
Click play on a video
Start a timer

You can use Display Boards.

They’re designed for real teachers with real time constraints, not tech demos.

Display Boards Are a Pro Feature (Here’s Why That Matters)

Display Boards are part of EasyClass AI’s Pro plan because they’re designed to save time every single day, not just look nice.

They:

Replace multiple tools
Reduce prep time
Improve classroom flow

They’re not an add-on. They’re a system.
