Monday morning, CE1 class. A tab for the first names wheel, another for the timer, a third for the sonometer, and the date written on the marker because no one has the courage to open a fourth. The list of students has been copied into each tool. It needs to be corrected everywhere as soon as a child is absent.
In short, it is this mess that Kliip offers to tidy up. This interactive classroom board brings together eighteen small tools on a single screen to project, which you compose to your liking. It first targets primary school teachers who have a TBI or a simple video projector.

What is Kliip, specifically?
Kliip is a website. Nothing to install: you open the table in the browser, you enter the first names once, and all the drawing tools draw from the same list. Two displays are available. The Simple view shows one tool at a time. The Tableau view is a canvas on which you lay several tools side by side, at the size you want, and the layout is retained for the next day.
The family is known. Classroomscreen and Digiscreen, the module of La Digitale, have been doing this job for years. Kliip comes after them with one more idea: put the class list in the center. You check off the absentees in the morning, they immediately come out of draws and teams, and everything starts again the next day.
The project is very young. It is published in Quebec by a sole proprietorship, Les Studios Geospotter, and its creator, who gave me some details for this article, says that he will update it every week. The newspaper confirms this: the whiteboard, the morning routine and the avatars have all arrived since the start of the school year. The interface exists in French and English.
What a customizable class board changes in a day
Morning ritual, laid by hand in front of the students
The Routine tool is built in blocks: the date, the weather you choose yourself, the number of school days broken down into hundreds, dozens and units, then a list of steps to check off with an image on each one (‘I hang my coat’, ‘I pull out my agenda’). These images come from an integrated bank of 47 class pictograms and 45 stickers, you have nothing to upload. For kindergarten or CP students, for an allophone child who does not yet read French, they count more than the text.
Draws and teams without negotiation
Wheel of first names, dry print, complete order of passage, teams of two to six. I liked a detail when I read the Teams tool documentation: When the division falls badly, Kliip does not leave a child alone. Twenty-five students in pairs give twelve teams including one of three. It seems obvious. Many group generators don't.
The working frame, visible from the back of the room
- A timer, a clock and a countdown to a date (the exit, the holidays).
- A traffic light and work symbols (silence, whisper, ask the neighbor, work together) so as not to repeat the instruction ten times.
- A sound level meter that passes through the microphone of the computer, with a ‘sky’ view that changes according to the noise of the class. According to the website, it measures the sound level without recording anything.
- Twelve royalty-free background music tracks for quiet working hours.
- A whiteboard where you write on your finger, glue notes and connect shapes with arrows. Several tables per class, exportable in image or PDF.
Each student can also choose an avatar from 600 (60 subjects in ten styles), which follows him or her in the draws, teams and order of passage. (A fox made of modelling paste: I didn't think I'd ever write that in an article about class management.)
For whom? Especially for the primary
Everything in Kliip is about kindergarten and elementary school: the trades of class, the weather of the day, the stickers. A college teacher will still find something to do with the timer, the order of passage for orals or teams for island work. But the free version only manages one class, and there the calculation changes.
On the equipment side, a computer connected to a projector is enough. Students do not need anything, neither an account nor a tablet. Kliip does not make the plan of the room: for that, look rather the Class Plan Generators which I reviewed this summer.
How much does Kliip cost, and does it need an account?
The table opens without account and without advertising. The free version gives access to tools for a class, with no student limit. It has other limitations: only three tools on the canvas at the same time, three whiteboards, six out of ten styles of avatars, three out of fourteen themes.
There was a limit that made me tick. The free timer offers only four durations, 1, 2, 5 and 10 minutes. You want seven minutes for a dictation? It is in the subscription. Damage, especially since free timers for the class adjustable to the second, there are everywhere.
Kliip Premium costs 24 € per year, all taxes included. The subscription opens up several classes, the canvas without limit, the schedule and timetable of the Routine, fairness statistics (which have not been questioned for a long time) and teams that distribute the ‘carers’ pupils. It also adds a print history arranged by session, with folders and a printable certificate.
The first names of the students remain in your browser
This is one of the strengths of the service. The class list, presences, settings, and even images you drop on the whiteboard are stored in the browser's local storage. Nothing is sent to a server, no student account exists, and the projected table does not contain advertising or audience measurement.
This choice has a very concrete setback. Your list does not follow you from the class computer to the home computer. It disappears if someone empties the browser data. And on a shared post, she stays there for the next colleague.
Kliip provides for a masking that reduces first names to their initials on the projected screen. The avatars remain visible: each child recognizes himself to his fox or his panda without his first name being displayed. The idea is clever.
What the creator of Kliip announces for the future
The list of construction sites is long. I would point out three that will bring real added value:
- Adaptation to the country and the level taught, with official programs (France, Belgium, Quebec) and regional vocabulary.
- Importing a PDF into the whiteboard, to annotate a manual sheet or page in front of the class.
- Cloud backup of the whiteboard, then an AI wizard, both reserved for Premium.
In addition, there are new image collections (mathematics, science, seasons), seasonal themes, 3D visualisations such as the solar system, and a support messaging where each suggestion receives a response.
What I like, what I like less
What I like
- A single class list for all tools, with absentees removed from a gesture.
- A particularly successful graphic line.
- No account, no advertising, and a human-readable privacy policy.
- Pictograms and visual routine, valuable for younger and non-readers.
- Teams that never leave a student alone.
- A developer who publishes news every week and answers questions.
What I like less
- The timer locked to four durations in free.
- One class without subscription: it’s short for secondary school.
- No backup for the moment outside the browser.
To be tested on a week of rituals
The best is to open Kliip on a Monday, paste your first names and hold the week with the free version: presences, routine, a wheel, a timer. You will quickly know if three tools on the web are enough for you. What I take from it, moreover, goes beyond Kliip. The time we lose with these small classroom tools rarely comes from the tools themselves, it comes from the list we retype in each.
