It's a brand new year and we have lots of updates to share. Classroomscreen has added a bunch of things, from a new widget to a sticker collection, so you can start 2024 off right. Are you ready to get started? Let's dive in!
This innovative widget, tucked behind the 'more' button, is designed to serve as your teammate in seamlessly tracking scores within your classroom. We've designed three different formats for you to choose from - 'Home and Away' for all the sports fans, 'Points' for a classic scoring experience and, 'Race' which displays icons racing towards the finish line.
We've also added a team name suggestions so you've got a list of options available at just the click of a button. From Mario characters to funny fruit puns, this handy addition will not only save you time but engage your students time and time again.
The development journey of this feature has been a long one, so we are super excited to see how you will use it in your classroom! As always, your suggestions are invaluable to us so if you have any ideas for improvements, please let us know either through our contact form or by saying hi on social media!

These have been around for a couple of months now, but if you haven't tried them yet, what are you waiting for? Stickers are an essential for every teacher, so we have added 5 different sheets so far for you to try. Accessible through the 'More widgets' button, simply drag the sticker you wish to use onto your screen.
All our stickers are designed in-house and are completely unique to Classroomscreen (thanks Heleanne for your fabulous designs!) so we hope you enjoy adding them to your screens. Thanks also to our community on social media, who helped us out with some amazing suggestions.
We will be adding more sticker sheets in the next few months (Valentine's Day, anyone?) so make sure to sign up for our newsletter to stay up to date.
Grouping widgets together isn't the most glamorous addition, but it meant a lot to us. It is now much easier to change your entire theme, move widgets around and keep everything organized. These day-to-day tweaks are often suggested by our users, as you are the ones using the tool in your classrooms everyday. Not sure how this feature works? Head to our help center to find out more!
Backgrounds are an essential part of Classroomscreen, and one of the first widgets to be added to the application all the way back in 2017. In order to greatly expand the options available, we have completely redone how the widget works and added a bunch of new settings. Along with this update, we've also added lots of new backgrounds for you to enjoy this year.
