Display boards
Classroom display boards: timers, polls and a noise meter on your screen
EasyClass display boards put a classroom timer, clock, noise meter, random name picker and QR code polls on the screen at the front of your room. Pick one of 50+ templates, build your own, or describe the board in a sentence and the AI sets it up for you.

One screen for the whole class period
Many teachers juggle a timer in one tab, a name picker in another and the schedule on a slide. Then the projector goes to sleep during silent reading.
A display board puts it all on one screen. The schedule, the clock and a timer sit side by side and keep working while you teach. Press B to blank the screen when you want eyes on you.
How it works
Start from a template, a blank board or a sentence
Pick a template like Morning Meeting, start blank, or type "a morning board for 3rd grade with the schedule, birthdays and a 10-minute timer" and let the AI lay it out.
Add widgets and make it yours
Add a timer, poll, noise meter or any of 40+ widgets. Drag them where you want them, change colors and fonts, and paste in your class list for the name picker.
Present it on the classroom screen
Press Present for full screen on the projector or TV. Keyboard shortcuts start the timer, pick a name or change the traffic light without leaving the board, and the screen stays awake.
Every widget on the shelf
50 widgets you can drop on a board, move, resize and restyle. Put as many on one screen as you need.

Timers and clocks
A visual classroom timer everyone can read from the back row
Show big numbers, a shrinking disc, a ring or an hourglass. The timer changes color near the end and plays a sound when time is up. Set rounds with breaks for station rotation. There is also a digital or analog classroom clock, a stopwatch and a countdown to field trip day.
- Quick-start buttons for 1, 2, 3, 5 and 10 minutes
- Keys while presenting: Space to start, R to reset, + and - for a minute
Noise meter
A noise meter for the classroom that listens, but never records
The noise meter uses the microphone on the computer running the board and shows how loud the room is. Calibrate it to your room and set how loud is too loud. It alerts the class only when the noise lasts a few seconds, and it can add a point to the scoreboard for quiet streaks. Nothing is recorded or saved.
- Calibrate to your room in one click
- Quiet streaks can add points to the scoreboard
Name picker and groups
A random name picker that gives everyone a turn
Paste your class list or copy in a class from your seating charts, then pick with a card shuffle or a spinning wheel. Nobody is picked twice until everyone has had a turn, if you want it that way. The group maker splits the class into even groups and keeps apart the pairs you set in your seating chart.
- Card shuffle or spinner wheel
- Pick up to 6 names at once
- Even groups that respect keep-apart pairs
Polls
Classroom polls with a QR code, no student accounts
Ask a question and the poll shows a QR code next to the answers. Students scan it, or type the short code on the vote page, and tap an answer. No sign-in, no app, no student emails. Show results live, or hide them until you reveal them.
- Scan the QR code or type a short code
- Live results, or hidden until you reveal them
Morning meeting
A morning meeting board that runs itself
The schedule highlights what is happening now and what comes next, based on the clock. Add a calendar, a quote that changes every morning, a scrolling announcement and a birthdays card. Leave the board up all day and it stays current.
- Schedule with "now" and "next" from the clock
- Birthdays, a calendar and a daily quote
- Several pages per board for each part of the day
Set up with AI
Describe the board and AI builds it
Open "Design with AI" in the board editor, or ask in the main EasyClass chat: "a review game board with four teams, a scoreboard, a 30-second timer and a name picker." The AI places and fills in the widgets, and can paint a background. Ask for changes in plain words. Need something no widget does? Have the AI build a custom widget, or go further and build your own classroom app.
- Works from the board editor or the main chat
- Custom widgets built from a description

How EasyClass boards are different
| EasyClass display boards | A typical classroom screen tool | |
|---|---|---|
| Setup | Templates, drag and drop, or describe it and AI builds it | Drag and drop only |
| Names | Copy a class from your seating charts | Retype the list each time |
| Next to your lessons | Boards live with your worksheets, slides and grading | A separate site and login |
| Something missing? | Ask the AI for a custom widget | Wait for the feature |
Built for a room full of students
A board is on a shared screen, so student data stays off it unless you put it there. Read our privacy policy.
- The noise meter listens on your device only. Nothing is recorded or saved.
- Students vote in polls without accounts, emails or sign-in.
- Class lists are copied into a board only when you choose a class.
- The share link is view-only, and you can turn it off at any time.
Questions teachers ask
Is it free?
Yes, display boards are unlimited on the free plan, with every widget and template. Designing a board with AI uses your plan’s regular AI allowance, and the free plan includes 2 AI-built custom widgets. See pricing for what Pro adds.
Do students need accounts to answer polls?
No. Students scan the QR code on the board, or type the short code on the vote page, then tap an answer. There is no sign-in, app or email. Each browser tab gets one vote, and you choose whether results show live on the board or stay hidden until you reveal them.
Does the noise meter record my class?
No. The noise meter reads the microphone level on the computer showing the board and turns it into a meter and colors. No audio is recorded, saved or sent anywhere. The browser asks for microphone permission first, and you can stop listening with one click.
Can AI really set up a board for me?
Yes. Describe the board in a sentence, in the board editor’s "Design with AI" panel or in the main EasyClass chat, and the AI picks the widgets, fills in your schedule and routines, and lays them out for a 16:9 classroom screen. You can then change anything by asking again or by hand.
How do I show a board on the projector or smartboard?
Open the board and press Present. It fills the screen and keeps the display awake. Shortcut keys start the timer, pick a name or change the traffic light, and B blanks the screen. You can also open a view-only link on the classroom computer without signing in.
What is the difference between a display board and a slide deck?
A slide deck shows content, while a display board runs your room. Its widgets are live: timers count down, the clock ticks, polls fill in and the schedule moves to what comes next. For lesson content, use AI slides and present the board alongside them.
