An externally hosted game may need its provider and asset domains too. Check that specific game with school IT; this list does not cover every external service.

Do not disable school filtering or browser security. The hosted player is sandboxed and does not need a teacher login.

Five checks on the actual board

  1. Open a published game while signed out. Pupils do not need accounts.
  2. Test touch targets, dragging and keyboard input on the actual board.
  3. Check text from the back of the room, fullscreen and portrait or landscape layout.
  4. Start sound with a tap and check the board speakers and volume.
  5. Play a complete round on the school network, including images, sound and restart.

A phone or desktop preview cannot certify an interactive board. Record the board model, browser, date and any failed checks before using a game in class.

From your phone to the board
