Description

Buzzer

Use the buzzer to get students to race to complete an activity first or decide who gets to go next. You can add up to four buzzers to an activity.

Randomizer

Use the Randomizer to call on students by randomly selecting numbers from the hat. You can set the number range to match the number of students in your class. Each number is generated only once per round.

Use the timer to limit the time students have to complete an activity. In the Timer’s editor, you can set a custom countdown time in minutes and seconds. You can also choose to end the activity when the timer reaches zero.
