Public Class: Quick and Easy Setup
Public Classes are designed for teachers who need a fast and straightforward way to start a session without the hassle of managing participants. Here’s how Public Classes work:
Benefits of Public Classes:
- Speed: A random 5-digit class code is automatically generated when you enter PowerPoint slideshow mode, allowing you to quickly start a session.
- Easy Access: Anyone with the code can join by entering their nickname, making it simple for participants to get involved.
- Flexibility: Ideal for spontaneous lessons, workshops, webinars, or public presentations where you expect a diverse group of participants.
- No Setup Required: Perfect for impromptu lessons or demonstrations, eliminating the need for extensive preparation.
However, Public Classes are better suited for quick, one-off sessions. If you want to build consistency and control in your classroom, you might prefer Private Classes.
Private Class: Enhanced Control and Long-Term Engagement
Private Classes provide more structure and control, making them ideal for ongoing courses where student participation and progress tracking are key. Here’s what sets Private Classes apart:
Benefits of Private Classes:
- Custom Class Code: You create a specific code for your class, ensuring only predefined participants can join, which makes classroom management more organized.
- Secure and Controlled Environment: Unlike Public Classes, only authorized students with pre-assigned names can participate, and guest access is disabled by default to maintain a focused classroom environment.
- Track Student Progress Over Time: Students’ stars accumulate across sessions, making Private Classes perfect for fostering long-term engagement and healthy competition. You can also track and manage your students’ progress through leaderboards, adding another layer of motivation.
