How it works
Three steps, zero setup
No setup screen, no import wizard — Text lives on the same board as everything else and it's running before the class has sat down.
2
Style it
Pick a font, size it up, set the alignment. Bold the word that matters.
Place it
Drag it wherever it belongs — a heading up top, instructions by the task, a label next to anything.
Classroom ideas
Try it tomorrow
Three ways teachers actually run text — steal one for tomorrow morning.
Objective, permanently visible
The learning objective big in a corner for the whole lesson. Observers love it; more importantly, students actually refer to it.
Word of the week
One giant word, its meaning small underneath. Watch it sneak into their writing by Thursday.
Label the board itself
'Turn in here', 'Early finishers', 'Today's links' — a few labels and the board explains itself while you teach.
My class actually cheers when the Boardee background loads. Transitions that used to eat five minutes now take five seconds.
Same dock, one tap away 
Pairs well with
Every tool lives on the same board — these turn text into a whole routine.
…and the rest of the dock is one tap away:
FAQ
Good to know
How big can the text go?
Big enough for the back row squinting from behind a monitor. Size the font up, or just stretch the whole box.
Can I have multiple text boxes?
As many as you like. Headings, labels, instructions — each is its own widget you can move independently.
Does it do formatting?
The essentials: fonts, sizes, alignment and emphasis. It's built for board-sized messages, not essays.
Do I need an account to try it?
No — no login, no install. Everything you write saves with the board on this device; an account is only for other devices.
Put big, clear text on your board
Open a board, tap the dock, and it's there. That's the whole setup.
