Ledgerly for schools
Ledgerly Classroom is free. You run the quiz on the big screen, usually an iPad on the projector (an iPhone works too), and pupils answer on their own iPhone or iPad, in the same room.
How a session goes
In Ledgerly, go to Profile, then Classroom, then Teach a class. Choose who's in the class (under 12, 12 to 15, 16 and 17, or 18 and over), a topic or one skill inside it, and 5 to 15 questions.
A six-digit code goes up on the big screen. Pupils type it into Join a class, and each one gets a friendly nickname, like Brave Otter. Up to 40 pupils can join.
Each question shows on every screen. Reveal the answer to see how the room split and the lesson's own explanation, then finish on Worth another look: the questions most of the room found hard.
Your call
A right answer scores 500 points, up to 500 more for a quick one, and a bonus for a run of right answers. The top 5 go up after each question, and the quiz ends on a podium. Only pupils with points are listed, so nobody is shown at the bottom. Switch it off and there are no points at all: each pupil just sees whether they got it right.
On by default, at 30 seconds a question, or 60 for an under 12 class. Choose 20, 30, 45, 60 or 90 seconds, or switch it off and reveal each answer when the room is ready. It's a ring that empties, with no red, no flashing and no sound, and every pupil's phone vibrates once at zero.
Joining stops when the quiz starts, and one tap lets a latecomer in. They score on any question that's still up, and a pupil whose phone drops out comes back as themselves, nickname and answers kept.
Safe for every age in the room
Everyone gets a friendly nickname from the teacher's device, like Brave Otter. Nobody chooses or changes one, so a pupil of any age can take part.
Nobody types anything except the six-digit code, in either direction.
Devices talk to each other directly, over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. There's no server, so the session never leaves the room.
Remove a device at any time, stop new joins, or make a new code, so anyone who only knew the old one stays out.
The teacher's device keeps no nicknames, answers or results once the session ends. A pupil's own phone keeps one thing: the XP for taking part, in their own progress.
Teaching a class is for 18 and over. Joining one is for everyone.
The questions
Every question comes word for word from Ledgerly's lessons for the class's age group: multiple choice, true or false, fill the gap and spot the mistake. Each reveal shows the lesson's own explanation, and answering along counts as practice in each pupil's own Ledgerly.
Lessons from age 5Good to know
On the teacher's iPad or iPhone, with an age of 18 or over in Ledgerly, and on each pupil's iPhone or iPad.
Devices find each other nearby, so the class needs to be together. A quick try with two devices before your first lesson is worth it.
Classroom keeps nothing between sessions, so there are no teacher accounts, class lists or homework.
