Award Points with a Live Leaderboard
Verbal praise fades fast, and a paper points chart can't keep up with a busy lesson. Kredits Scoreboard opens straight on your seating plan, so one tap on a pupil gives them a point, and projects a live leaderboard the whole class can see.
How to do it
-
Open Kredits Scoreboard
Sign in to Kredits and open Scoreboard from the Hub or the sidebar. It opens straight on the seating plan of the class you last used in any Kredits app.
-
Switch class if you need to
Use the class button at the top left, as in Seating: type to search, or choose All classes to see every class. Seats and card numbers come from Kredits Seating.
-
Tap a pupil to award a point
On the Seating plan tab, one tap on a desk gives that pupil a point. There is nothing else to press. The line above the plan confirms who got it and their new total. Tapped the wrong pupil? Press Undo on that line (or Ctrl+Z) to take the point back; press it again to go further back.
-
Or tap a name on the Leaderboard
The Leaderboard tab lists the class in points order. Tap any row to give that pupil a point. The order holds for a moment after each tap so you can tap again without the list jumping.
-
Scan QR cards on a phone or iPad
On a phone or iPad, a Tap Seat / Scan QR switch appears above the plan. Choose Scan QR and point the camera at a pupil's card to give them a point. It isn't shown on computers or classroom screens.
-
Project the leaderboard or podium
Use Full Screen on the Leaderboard or Podium tab to put it on the board. Podium shows the top three and is for display only: points can't be given from it. Points update live as you award them.
-
Reset between lessons
On the Leaderboard tab, Reset All Points gives the class a clean slate, and Adjust Points sets one pupil's total by hand.
Best practices
- Print QR cards once from Settings. Card numbers match desk numbers, and the same cards work for both Scoreboard and Markbook.
- Walk the room with Scoreboard open on your phone and tap pupils as you go, while the leaderboard stays up on the board.
- Leave the leaderboard projected during independent work so points feel visible and immediate.
- Switch to the Podium tab for the last five minutes of a lesson to build a bit of competitive energy.
- Reset points at natural breakpoints (new term, new topic) rather than letting totals run forever.
