Classroom Text and Notes
Clear assignment instructions and lesson notes on your classroom board.
Students often forget verbal instructions moments after independent work begins. The classroom text tool keeps assignments, writing prompts, and task steps visible on your projector throughout the lesson. Type notes directly onto your board so every student works with confidence and clarity.
“Classroom Text and Notes” is a tool by ClassHelper, the free digital whiteboard for teachers. It runs directly in your browser with no account required and servers in Germany.

How the Classroom Text and Notes works
The Classroom Text and Notes tool provides an anchor for student attention during individual and collaborative learning tasks. Rather than repeating verbal directions as students settle into their seats, teachers type lesson objectives, task steps, and resource page numbers into a clean digital card displayed prominently on the board.
Because the tool runs directly in your web browser, it requires no software installations or user profiles. You can change text styling, adjust card sizes, and rearrange board layouts instantly to match your instructional plan.
Step by step
- Open your ClassHelper board and click the Text tool icon in the media menu.
- Type or paste your assignment directions, vocabulary words, or lesson prompts.
- Select an accessible font like Andika and adjust the text size for optimal visibility.
- Position and resize the card anywhere on your digital board beside other active tools.
- Edit instructions on the fly as classroom tasks evolve during the work period.
Using Classroom Text and Notes in the classroom
Independent practice directions. Keep step-by-step workbook instructions on screen so students never lose focus or interrupt peer conferences to ask what page comes next.
Morning meeting warm-ups. Greet students with a daily message, reflection prompt, or bell-ringer question ready on the screen when they enter the room.
Vocabulary and sentence frames. Provide scaffolding sentence stems during language arts discussions so English language learners participate with structure and support.
Station rotation checklists. Detail the specific expectations for each learning center, ensuring students transition smoothly and manage their materials responsibly.
Frequently asked questions about Classroom Text and Notes
Is the classroom text tool free to use?
Yes. The text widget is completely free to use online without creating an account or installing any software.
What happens to the notes I type on the screen?
All notes and text remain stored locally in your browser memory on your device. We use Stripe Payments Europe (Dublin, Ireland) to process payments. Only billing data goes there, never student or lesson data.
Does the text box support early literacy fonts or lined guides?
Yes. You can choose elementary-friendly fonts like Andika and toggle ruling lines designed for early elementary writing practice.
Can I display multiple text boxes at the same time?
Yes. You can open multiple text cards simultaneously to separate vocabulary lists, group instructions, and lesson objectives across your screen.
Can I adjust font sizes for students in the back row?
Yes. Font size controls let you enlarge text quickly so students sitting in the back of the classroom can read every instruction with ease.
