Why Classroom Hero Is the Platform to Power Your Best Year Yet
The new school year brings new students, new challenges, and new opportunities to spark curiosity. Classroom Hero helps you do all three—by turning everyday lessons into interactive experiences, building healthy classroom habits, and connecting learning at school to support at home. This year, we’ve shipped our most ambitious features yet to help you boost engagement, save time, and make your classroom feel like a team.
What’s New for 2025
AI-powered interactive games: Instantly generate Jeopardy-style boards or multiple-choice quizzes from your lesson content that integrate to the existing reward system.
Attendance and participation tracking: Take attendance in seconds and tie participation to points.
Parent integrations and home rewards: Let families (optionally) offer real-world rewards students can redeem at home with their hard-earned points in class. Parents can offer more personalized rewards to students that will drive their motivation in class!
AI-Generated Games That Teach While They Captivate
Most students grew up gaming. Rather than competing with that reality, Classroom Hero channels it into learning.
Jeopardy-style boards in seconds: Paste your topic or upload a brief outline—our AI drafts categories and clues aligned to your objectives. You can adjust difficulty, edit prompts, and save for re-use.
Multiple-choice quizzes—auto generated, auto graded: Create quick checks for understanding from your lesson notes. Enable instant feedback and optional retries.
Rewards built in: Quiz results and game performance sync with Classroom Hero points automatically. You decide the behaviors and milestones that matter (accuracy, improvement, teamwork, participation).
Works in your flow: Run games on your projector, small groups, or individual devices. Keep momentum with fast rounds and automatic scoring.
Why Gamification Works—Especially Now
Students today are used to constant feedback loops, unlockable goals, and clear progression—because that’s how games work. Classroom Hero brings those same motivators into learning, on your terms.
Immediate feedback encourages persistence and iteration.
Clear goals and micro-wins make big concepts feel approachable.
Choice and agency increase buy-in and ownership.
Team play and challenges foster collaboration, not just competition.
Positive reinforcement reinforces the behaviors that make classrooms thrive.
Technology has shortened attention spans—but it can also restore focus when used intentionally. The best way to counter the downsides of tech is to use technology for good: meaningful practice, engaging formats, and consistent encouragement.
Attendance That Builds Habits, Not Just Rosters
Roll call shouldn’t slow you down. Our new Attendance feature makes it fast—and meaningful.
One-tap attendance: Mark present, tardy, or absent—done.
Participation boosts: Optionally award points for on-time or tardy arrival.
Actionable insights: Spot patterns early and celebrate positive trends.
Parent Integrations: Extend Learning Beyond the Bell
When families want to support classroom goals, Classroom Hero makes it simple—and entirely optional.
Home rewards: Parents can offer rewards at home (extra screen time, choose dinner, weekend activity) that students can “purchase” with points they earn in class.
Teacher control: You set what behaviors earn points and which rewards are eligible. Parents only see what you allow.
Motivation that matters: Students connect effort in class to meaningful recognition at home—without extra admin work for you.
Designed for Teachers, by Teachers
Fast setup: Create a class with our 'Class' template to start with common rewards, subtractors, and items and hit the ground running!
Flexible rewards: Academic milestones, positive behaviors, teamwork—reward what you value most.
Accessible anywhere: Works for whole-class instruction, small groups, or independent practice.
Privacy-conscious: Everything is configurable and opt-in; you control visibility and permissions.
Get Ready for Your Best Year Yet
Start with one win: Try an AI-generated quiz or Jeopardy board in your first week.
Set clear incentives: Define classroom rewards that reinforce your routines and expectations.
Enable attendance: Turn daily habits into progress your students can see.
Invite parents (optional): Let families align home rewards with your classroom goals.
Classroom Hero doesn’t try to replace your craft—it amplifies it. If you want a classroom where attention is earned, effort is visible, and growth is celebrated, we’re here to help you make it happen.
Ready to turn back-to-school into a launchpad for the whole year? Let’s build it together—with technology that works for good.
