Submission statement: I'm a K-12 teacher sharing a free classroom tool I built to solve a problem I personally experienced. Posting to get honest feedback from educators.
Hey 👋
I'm a K-12 Digital and STEM teacher from Australia and about a year ago I got sick of juggling 5 different browser tabs just to run a lesson - timer in one, random picker in another, whiteboard somewhere else. You get the idea.
So I did what any completely time poor teacher would do and spent 6 months of evenings and weekends building my own web app from scratch.
It's called Class Cortex, a classroom engagement all in one teacher tool. Here's what it does:
🎰 Random student picker
💯 Reward system for the whole class, groups and individuals
⌛ Countdown timer with multiple modes
📣 Noise monitor that tracks volume in real time
🆚 Tactical scoreboard for classroom competitions
🪑 Drag and drop seating map with PDF export for relief teachers
🎲 Probability dice
📽️ Built-in whiteboard
⚔️ Boss Battle - live multiplayer where the whole class connects from their devices and fights a boss together. Kids absolutely lose it for this one.
Runs entirely in the browser. No student accounts, no installs, nothing for IT to approve. Just open it on your projector and go.
Been using it in my own classroom this term. Would love to know what other teachers think - what works, what doesn't, what's missing.
classcortex.com - free, no sign up needed. It does however need a reasonable viewport screen, so anything from iPad mini size, up to desktop screens and anything in between will work...but not on your mobile phone - screen size is just too small.
Anyway, cheers 🙏
- Chris
