Class links
Class links for the board: big buttons for the websites of the lesson, each showing its address and a QR code the class can scan. It needs a free teacher account.
This is the Hyperlink from OpenEduCat Board, where it sits next to everything else you use in a lesson.

Questions
Can I keep classroom links on the board?
Yes. Add up to 10 links, give each a name and put them in order. Each one shows its address, so the class sees where it goes before it opens.
How does the class open a link on a phone?
Point at a link, or move to it with Tab, and its QR code shows. The class scans it with a phone or a tablet. You can turn the QR codes off in the settings.
Which links can I add?
An address that starts with https://, and one typed without it gets https:// added. A link that starts with http:// is refused, and the widget says so.
Where does a link open?
In a new tab of your browser, so the board stays open behind it. The widget loads nothing from a site before you open it.
