Classroomscreen is a popular way for teachers to display useful classroom tools on one screen.

Instead of opening separate websites for a timer, student groups, classroom instructions, voting, or a whiteboard, teachers can keep several tools visible during the lesson.

But some teachers may be looking for a different option.

You may want a free classroom dashboard, stronger Arabic support, a different interface, or another way to organize your classroom tools.

Sabura is a free Classroomscreen alternative that brings classroom management and presentation tools together in one customizable dashboard.

Sabura is an independent product and is not affiliated with Classroomscreen.

What is Sabura?

Sabura is a browser-based classroom dashboard designed for teachers.

Every new account starts with a 7-day trial of full Pro access without a credit card. During the trial, teachers can create, name, edit, and save unlimited dashboards. When the trial ends, the first board remains available on Free. Additional boards stay safely stored and unlock when the teacher upgrades to Pro.

The Free plan includes 1 saved classroom board, all core classroom tools, backgrounds, gradients, and colors, plus up to 5 saved images, 3 saved PDFs, 3 name lists, and 3 AI Assistant prompts per month. Pro includes unlimited saved dashboards and name lists, public live sharing, and 60 AI Assistant prompts per month.

You can open multiple tools, move them around the screen, resize them, and create a layout that fits your lesson.

Sabura can be displayed using:

  • a classroom projector
  • an interactive whiteboard
  • a television
  • a laptop
  • a tablet
  • screen sharing during an online lesson

The goal is simple: help teachers manage the lesson without switching constantly between different tabs and websites.

Why look for an alternative?

Different teachers need different workflows.

Classroomscreen may work well for many classrooms, but you may prefer an alternative if you want:

  • a different interface
  • support for Arabic and right-to-left layouts
  • a free teacher dashboard
  • another option for saving classroom layouts
  • tools designed for both presentation and participation
  • a simpler way to share information with students

Sabura is designed to provide those classroom tools inside one flexible screen.

What tools are available?

Sabura includes tools for managing time, presenting information, involving students, and organizing classroom activities.

Time and lesson organization

You can use tools such as:

  • timer
  • stopwatch
  • clock
  • visual schedule
  • notes and instructions

For example, you can display the activity instructions beside a countdown timer so students always know what to do and how much time remains.

Student participation

Sabura can help teachers involve students using:

  • random student picker
  • group generator
  • classroom voting
  • scoreboard
  • digital dice and random tools

These tools can be useful for questions, review games, group work, and classroom discussions.

Classroom management

Teachers can also use:

  • classroom noise display
  • traffic-light signals
  • work-mode symbols
  • visual reminders

These tools give students clear visual expectations without requiring the teacher to repeat the same instructions.

Presentation and teaching

Sabura also includes options for:

  • text
  • images
  • PDF files
  • video
  • camera display
  • QR codes
  • digital whiteboard
  • drawing and annotation

This allows the teacher to keep lesson content and classroom-management tools on the same screen.

The best option depends on your classroom, preferred language, interface, and the tools you use most often.

Classroomscreen may suit teachers who already know its interface and depend on its existing workflow.

Sabura may suit teachers who want a free alternative, an Arabic-friendly experience, and a different way to arrange classroom tools.

Who is Sabura for?

Sabura may be useful for:

  • primary school teachers
  • secondary school teachers
  • language teachers
  • tutors
  • online instructors
  • teachers using interactive displays
  • teachers working in Arabic and English

You do not need to use every tool.

A simple classroom screen might contain only:

  1. lesson instructions
  2. a timer
  3. a classroom noise indicator
  4. one participation tool

You can then add or remove tools as the lesson changes.

How to create your first screen

Start by opening Sabura in your browser.

Add a text window and write the main instructions for the activity.

Next, add a timer so students can see how much time they have.

Then choose one additional tool, such as:

  • random student picker
  • groups
  • voting
  • whiteboard
  • noise display

Arrange the windows so the most important information is easy to read from the back of the classroom.

Avoid opening too many tools at once. A simple screen is usually more effective than a crowded one.

Is Sabura the right Classroomscreen alternative for you?

The easiest way to decide is to try it during a real lesson.

Open the tools you use most often and see whether the interface fits your teaching style.

Sabura may be a good option when you want:

  • a free classroom screen
  • an Arabic-friendly interface
  • multiple teacher tools in one place
  • a customizable classroom dashboard
  • an alternative to switching between many websites

You can begin with a timer, instructions, and one interactive tool, then build your dashboard as needed.
