What is Deck.Toys?

Deck.Toys is an online classroom platform that allows you to teach and engage students interactively. Your lessons become Learning Paths for Lesson Adventures!

Deck.Toys has 3 unique set-ups:1. Drag-and-Drop lesson creation 2. Amazing student engagement in the classroom in both teacher-led and student-paced lesson mode 3. Real-time tracking of students’ progress

Drag and Drop Lesson Creation

Creating a Deck.Toys lesson is similar to building a map full of Activities for your students to complete and conquer. Simply drag-and-drop existing lesson materials to make the lesson into a gamified format! Learn more here:

Amazing Student Engagement

The Deck.Toys Classroom is a real-time and interactive environment, where teachers interact with students, and students can interact with each other in a classroom! Be treated to sessions of fun and laughter and even howls of dismay when the Gauntlet app is launched! Toggle between Teacher Sync which is teacher-led, and Free Mode which is student-paced and allows for self-exploration. Students can also collaborate or challenge another classmate in real-time!

Real-time Tracking

Data and Report Every student’s progress is captured in real-time in both Teacher Sync and Free Mode, to allow you to quickly identify the strengths and area of improvement for each student. At the end of the lesson, generate the classroom report to get a summary of all completed activities and answers submitted by your students.
