Every class gets its own board. Which one are you joining?

Students — join with your class code

Your instructor will give you six characters. The code also travels in the link they send, so a shared link drops you straight onto the right board.

Instructors — open a new board

You get a class code to hand out and a private manage key that unlocks moderation. Save the manage key when it appears — it is shown once.

Board open. Write these down.

Class code — give to students

{{ newBoardResult.code }}

Manage key — keep private

{{ newBoardResult.manage_key }}

Connect the shared database

One Supabase project serves every class board. Create the project, run supabase/schema.sql in its SQL editor, then paste the project URL and the public anon key below. Both are safe to publish — the rules live in the database.

Saved here, the keys live in this browser only. To connect every visitor at once, put the same two values in supabase-config.js before you deploy.

Describe your media first — then spin for your question.

Share your interpretations of the many different kinds of media in your life. Choose an artifact and describe it briefly, then spin the wheel to see what question from the Media Literacy DISCourse Model you must answer. See how critical questions activate critical thinking and discover the new insights that emerge.

  1. 01   Your artifact
  2. 02   The spin
  3. 03   Your answer
A post, ad, news story, video, meme, game clip, song — anything you can point at.
