Ultimate Teacher Tool is a self-hosted, offline classroom management app designed specifically for K–12 teachers. It gives you one powerful dashboard to manage class chat, polls, seating, noise levels, and QR-code joining — all over your own Wi-Fi or hotspot, even when school internet is down.
Built by a teacher, for teachers, this tool is a privacy-first alternative to ClassDojo, Kahoot, and Nearpod, with no student accounts, no third-party servers, and no behavior point tracking.
What You Can Do with Ultimate Teacher Tool

Simple Student Join: Show a room code, short URL, and QR code so students can connect quickly from any device on your Wi-Fi or hotspot, with a live count of who’s connected.
-
Built-In Setup & Network Help: Get clear guidance for using school Wi-Fi, phone or laptop hotspots, and shared devices so the tool works even in tricky network situations.

Quick Polls in Seconds: Build a multiple-choice poll, launch or reset it with one click, and decide whether results stay teacher-only or are shared with the class.
