MyClassScreen vs Teacherstack
Two free classroom display tools teachers trust. Teacherstack leads on rotations; MyClassScreen leads on widget variety. Here is how to choose.
Teacherstack and MyClassScreen both offer free classroom displays with saved layouts — a direct answer to Classroomscreen's paid save tier. They differ in focus. Teacherstack is built around center and station rotations for elementary classrooms. MyClassScreen is a general-purpose widget board for timers, noise monitoring, name picking, and more across grade levels.

Where Teacherstack wins
If you run daily reading or math stations with named groups rotating every twelve minutes, Teacherstack's layout language matches that workflow. Drag groups, set intervals, project the grid — students know where to go when the timer beeps. Teachers in K–5 who live in rotations report less morning setup than building the same grid from scratch on a generic canvas.
Teacherstack is also 100% free with saving, with a large teacher user base. That community matters when you want proof other primary teachers rely on the same tool.
Where MyClassScreen wins
MyClassScreen targets the full school day, not only rotations. You get a drawing board, noise meter, QR codes, live polls, and more on one saveable board. Middle and high school teachers often need that breadth; elementary teachers who want noise control during independent reading also benefit.
The group maker handles ad hoc teams for labs and PE even when you are not running formal stations. Pair it with the classroom timer for rotation timing if you prefer a flexible layout over a fixed grid.
Switching or combining
Some teachers use Teacherstack during the literacy block and MyClassScreen for science or afternoon routines — both are browser tabs, both free. If you switch fully, export class lists as text, paste into MyClassScreen rosters, and recreate one saved "stations" board using timer + text widget + group maker.
