What's in this article?


The tools described in this article are helpful in engaging students and running LiveSchool systems! You can find each of them by going to the Points screen and clicking the 3 dots in the top, right-hand corner.

Randomizer

From the Points screen, select the three dots in the top-right corner and choose Randomizer from the top of the menu.

Ditch the popsicle sticks with the Randomizer!

Choosing a random student can sometimes be met with “but they already had a turn!”, and cold calling a student can make students feel called out. Use the Randomizer to solve both problems and select students the fair way!

You can find the Randomizer by going to the Points screen > clicking the 3 dots in the right-hand corner > Tools (displayed at the bottom).

The Randomizer remembers which students have already been selected; every student will be picked before a student gets a second turn.

And if you select a group of students before clicking the Randomizer, it will randomly pick a student from within that group.

Timer

From the Points screen, select the three dots in the top, right corner and select the Timer from the bottom of the menu.

Use Timer as a shot-clock in the classroom!

There are a few things you can do with Timer:

  • Choose a pre-added Timer, or create your own in increments of 15 seconds

  • Add some jeopardy-like music

  • Minimize and keep giving points as usual

  • Add 15 seconds at any time

  • Set the timer to automatically repeat for recurring classroom procedures

  • Use “Reset” to start over

You can find the Timer by going to the Points screen > clicking the 3 dots in the right-hand corner > Tools (displayed at the bottom).

Turn on the “Repeat” function and set the timer to 5 minutes. Whenever the timer goes off, look for students meeting your expectations and award points! It’s a fun and engaging way to stay positive.

Stopwatch

From the Points screen, select the three dots in the top, right corner, and choose Stopwatch from the bottom of the menu.

LiveSchool’s Stopwatch makes it easy to time students, and continue giving points!

With the Stopwatch you can:

  • Minimize and keep giving points

  • Add jeopardy-like music

  • Clear to reset back to zero‍


You can find the Stopwatch by going to the Points screen > clicking the 3 dots in the right-hand corner > Tools (displayed at the bottom).

‍

Calculator

From the Points screen, click the three dots in the top, right corner and select the calculator from the bottom of the menu.

Test students’ PEMDAS skills – or use it for quick calculations or double-checking (for us non-math teachers).


You can find the Calculator by going to the Points screen > clicking the 3 dots in the right-hand corner > Tools (displayed at the bottom).
