A free classroom reward system on your smart board

Open a class fish tank on your board: every student's fish swims with their name. You give behavior points from your phone with one tap, food drops for that student's fish and their name is said out loud.

  • Up to 40 students
  • No student emails
  • Nothing to install, just a browser

Positive behavior, visible to everyone

A classroom behavior app that doesn't interrupt your lesson

A behavior points app only works if you can use it without breaking the flow of the lesson. That's why classroom mode works with a single tap.

A live aquarium on the board

Every student's fish swims with their name. The moment you give a point, food drops for that fish and the whole class sees it.

One tap on your phone

Tap the student, then the behavior. No walking to the board, no menus on the computer.

Names said out loud

The student who earns a point hears their name. Recognition is instant and in front of the whole class.

Editable behaviors

A ready-made list is included; change names and points to fit your class and add your own.

Whole-class rewards

When the class reaches a shared goal, one tap feeds every fish.

Minimal student data

Only a first name or nickname. No student accounts, emails or phone numbers.

Teaching preschool or kindergarten? For ages 4–6, preschool mode uses a pom-pom jar, a visual schedule and tap-to-check-in attendance instead of points.

Compatibility

Whatever screen your classroom has

The class aquarium runs as a web page. Any big screen with a browser will do.

Interactive whiteboards

Opens in the board's own browser on Android-based and other interactive panels. If the browser is very old, use a computer connected to the board.

Classroom TV

Any smart TV browser works; on Android TV and Google TV there is also an app you control with the remote.

Computer and projector

Windows, macOS, ChromeOS or Linux: open motivasyontv.com/tahta in an up-to-date browser.

Languages: the app works in English, Turkish and Azerbaijani; you pick the language in the app. Some learning content (Turkish phonics games and the curriculum-based Sea of Knowledge questions) is Turkish-only for now.

Student privacy

Only the data a class needs, nothing more

Only the teacher creates an account. Students are entered by first name or nickname; you can use just a first name or a fun nickname if you prefer.
