1F
Big-screen first
Calm visuals for the smartboard. Keys 1 to 9 give stars, F goes full screen.
Kind by design, safe by default
No minus points, no rankings, and nothing about your students leaves the classroom computer.
Positive only
There are no minus points. "Oops" undoes a mistake, but a hard moment never takes stars away.
No student accounts
First names or nicknames are enough. Nobody signs in.
No rankings
No leaderboards. Everyone grows the same island together.
Nothing is recorded
The microphone only measures how loud the room is, on your computer.
Gentle nudges
If stars come too fast, you get a friendly tip, not a lock.

Questions teachers ask
Is it free?
Yes. Open it and start. There's no sign-up and nothing to install.
Does it work on a smartboard or projector?
Yes, that's what it's made for. Open it in the browser on your classroom computer and press F for full screen.
What ages is it for?
It's designed for kindergarten and works well up to about second grade.
How long does the island last?
About a school year with the usual 1 or 2 stars per reason. Something small appears almost every day, and something big every few days.
Can I use it with more than one class?
Yes. Each class gets its own island, and the home screen lets you pick today's class.
Where is my class saved?
In the browser on the computer you use, with no cloud backup. Clearing site data can remove your classes. Download all your classes from the app home screen, or a single class from Settings → Backup. Keep a fresh copy after each school day. Restore that file on this or another computer to recover progress up to the time of the download.
