Ready for Malaysian schools:
DSKP-aligned
Automatic RPH drafting
For the things that come up every week.
Each one starts from the lesson you are teaching, and takes a few taps.
Before the lesson
No time to prepare today?
Just teach. The notes, key terms and a mind map build on the board as you talk, and games and quiz rounds are ready a minute or two later.
Need a recap of last lesson?
Open last lesson in Downtime and replay a few of its questions on the board as a warm-up.
During the lesson
Not sure the class got it?
A minute or two after you teach a point, a True or False round on it is ready. The class answers with thumbs, and you tap Reveal.
Time to check what stuck?
Play Quiz Show or Titan Takedown on today's lesson. Every question comes from what you taught, so the game is the check. When students play on their own devices, the Class Summary shows how each of them did.
Class feeling a little slow?
Start Titan Takedown. Teams answer questions on what you just taught to bring down a giant Titan on the board, and the room wakes up.
Class still noisy after recess?
Voice Level shows the volume you expect, the Noise Meter lets the class see how loud it is, and Breathe settles everyone down.
Same few hands every time?
Add your class list once, and Name Picker and Cold-Call Deck choose fairly from it, so every student gets a turn.
Five minutes to the bell?
Recap Slide puts today's key points on the board in one tap, and Exit Ticket checks each objective with a show of thumbs.
After the lesson
A student missed the lesson?
Share one link in the class WhatsApp group. The notes, mind map, slides and practice from what you taught are all there, so nobody has to fall behind.
Need slides for the next class?
The lesson you just taught is already a slide deck. Download it as PowerPoint to edit in Canva or PowerPoint, or print it as a handout.
Homework to set?
Print a worksheet made from today's lesson, with its answer key for you.
RPH to write up?
After the lesson, tap “Make the lesson plan from this session”. What ran and what you said is offered row by row, and nothing goes in until you accept it.
A parent asks what was covered?
Copy the lesson summary link and send it. It is a read-only page about the lesson, with no student names on it.
Here is what Downtime does in each part of your lesson.
Whatever structure you plan with, from set induction to closure or I do, we do, you do, your lesson moves through these five parts. Below is what each usually takes, and what Downtime does there.
Starting the class
Usually
Settling the class, finding the right file on the board, recapping last lesson and sharing today's objective.
With Downtime
Start in a few taps from your dashboard, or straight from your RPH with “Prepare the material”, so the lesson opens with your topic and objectives.
Replay a few questions from last lesson on the board as a warm-up.
Objective Banner puts “Today we’re learning…” on the board.
Teaching the new topic
Usually
Explaining while writing notes on the board, drawing diagrams and waiting for everyone to copy.
With Downtime
Just teach. The notes, key terms and a map of the lesson build on the board as you talk, usually within a minute.
Interactive pictures, from number lines to fraction bars and circuits, appear when your notes call for them.
Reference Board and Scratchpad are there when you want to show a formula or work an example by hand.
Checking understanding
Usually
Asking questions, counting hands and judging whether the class got it before you move on.
With Downtime
A minute or two after you teach a point, questions on it are ready. Play Quick Quiz or True or False on the board, the class answers aloud or with thumbs, and you tap Reveal.
“Test which objectives?” keeps the round on the objective you just taught.
Show of Hands shows the spread of answers at a glance.
Practice
Usually
Preparing practice questions, running them with the whole class, keeping score, then marking.
With Downtime
Quiz Show: teams pick a ticket and answer against the clock, with harder tickets worth more, all from today's lesson.
Titan Takedown: teams answer to strike a giant Titan on the board, a boss battle of about three minutes on what you just taught.
Quick Quiz, True or False, Fill the Gap, Who Am I and Odd One Out for the whole class.
A printable worksheet (Student Copy) and its answer key (Teacher Copy), made from today's lesson.
Wrapping up
Usually
Summing up and checking what stuck, often squeezed into the last few minutes, then setting homework.
With Downtime
Recap Slide puts the lesson's key points on the board in one tap.
Exit Ticket goes through today’s objectives one by one. The class shows thumbs up, sideways or down, and you see what to revisit.
Lesson Slides replay the lesson in order, and students get the same slides in their Lesson Space.
A short Myth vs Fact round on the mix-ups you corrected today.
Printable homework from today's lesson, with its answer key.
Try it in your next lesson.
Start freeReach for it the moment the class needs it.
From keeping everyone engaged to keeping to time, here is what you can put on the board right then, with nothing to prepare.
Keeping everyone engaged
Put a team game from what you just taught on the board, Titan Takedown or Quiz Show, in a few taps and with nothing to prepare.
Hearing from every student
Add your class list once, and Name Picker, Random Order and Cold-Call Deck choose fairly from it. Team games give every group a turn.
Seeing who really understood
Show of Hands has the class answer with fingers or thumbs, so you see who has it before you move on. Then play a round on the point you just made and tap Reveal together.
Keeping the room calm
Voice Level shows the volume you expect, the Noise Meter lets the class see how loud it is, and Breathe settles them.
Keeping to time
Countdown Timer keeps each activity on track, and Recap Slide puts the key points up in one tap when the bell is close.
Making it safe to be wrong
On the board, games score teams, not single students, and practice rounds are answered by the whole class together, so no one is singled out for a wrong answer.
Bringing the energy back
After recess or in the last period, Brain Break, a quick Quiz Show or a celebration on the React Board lifts the room.
Less time spent copying notes
The notes build on the board as you teach, and students get them in their Lesson Space and as a printed booklet, so they can listen instead of copying everything down.
Have it ready for your next class.
Start freeIt doesn't look like an app. It looks like the subject.
Every lesson gets its own world, with art made for its topic, so the games and slides feel like part of the subject.
Each world is a full set made for the topic: a background, characters, vehicles, cards and props.
Built while you teach
It builds live from what you say, with nothing for you to make.
Yours to keep after class
Students open the lesson's notes, map and slides again in their Lesson Space.
Fits the age you teach
It looks playful and simple for the youngest, and more grown-up for senior classes.
Classroom-safe by default
The art stays modest and respectful on sensitive topics, and famous characters become look-alikes.
The work around the lesson starts from the lesson.
Downtime heard the whole lesson, so it drafts the work around it. Every draft is yours to review and confirm.
Your RPH, drafted from the lesson
After the lesson, choose “Make the lesson plan from this session”. What ran and what you said is offered row by row on your RPH, and nothing is written until you accept it.
Start from your plan
Open a lesson from your RPH with “Prepare the material” and it starts with your topic and objectives already in place.
Aligned to DSKP
Choose the DSKP standards a lesson targets, and every note and question is tagged to them, with a view of what was covered.
Worksheets and homework from the lesson
Print a worksheet and its answer key made from today's lesson, for practice in class or as homework.
Notes and slides for your students
Each lesson keeps its notes, map and slides in the Lesson Space and prints as a booklet with a QR code back to it, so students who were away can catch up. The slides also download as PowerPoint, to edit in Canva or PowerPoint, or as a PDF handout.
A summary for parents
Each lesson gets a plain summary of what was covered, with no student names on it. Copy its link and send it to parents.
Get an RPH draft from your next lesson.
Start freeIt runs on what your classroom already has.
All it needs is a browser, a screen and your microphone, in the room or online.
In your browser
Nothing to install for you or your students. Open it on your laptop and show it on the smartboard or projector.
In the classroom
Everything plays on that one screen, so students need no devices. Teach with your laptop or phone microphone. If students do have phones or tablets, they can also join games from a link with a first name.
Online, for PdPR
Paste your Zoom, Meet or Teams link and Skippy joins the call to listen. Send to Meeting posts a game’s link in the chat, and students play on their own devices.
In your language
Teach in Bahasa Malaysia, English or a mix of both. Notes and questions come out in your lesson's language, with read-aloud in a matching voice.
No student ever came to class for an app. They came for you.
Downtime builds only from your lesson, checks what it makes, and leaves every decision to you.
It builds from what you said
Downtime works only from what you say in the room. It leaves out the jokes and side chatter, and keeps to what you taught.
Every question is checked
It removes answer options that could also be right, and checks the true-or-false and fill-in questions before they reach the board.
See where each item came from
Every question links to the moment in your lesson it came from, so nothing on the board is a mystery.
You run the room
Downtime never decides how you teach. It works from the lesson you give, and every draft waits for your review.
One plan. Everything included.
No tiers to compare. Until Fri 16 Oct, every lesson is free with no limit - no card needed. After that, you get 3 lessons or 180 minutes free every month.

Priority support and the teacher community
Running a school or centre?
We build custom plans with admin tools, reporting and centre-branded rooms for your team.
Your evenings stay yours. We think that is a good deal.
Questions, answered plainly.
The things teachers ask before their first lesson.
The questions before your first lesson
Don't. Keep it for Friday fun. Downtime is not a quiz you prepare the night before. It works alongside the whole lesson as you teach it: the notes build on the board, a round on the point you just made is ready a minute later, and the RPH is drafted afterwards.
The opposite. You teach exactly as you do now. Downtime never tells you how to teach. It works from the lesson you give, and every draft waits for you to review and confirm it.
No. Everything runs on one smartboard or projector, and the class answers aloud, with fingers or in teams. If your students do have phones or tablets, they can also join games from a link with a first name, with nothing to install. In an online class, that is how they play.
It drafts it. After the lesson, choose “Make the lesson plan from this session”: what ran and what you said is offered row by row on your RPH, and nothing is written until you accept it.
Keep them. They do a different job. A bank was written for a generic class before your lesson existed. Downtime writes from the lesson you just taught, in the words this class heard.
Only your device needs a connection, not a whole room of them. Downtime does need the internet while you teach, so for a day with no wifi, print the worksheets from an earlier lesson ahead of time.
No catch. Until Fri 16 Oct, every lesson is free with no limit and no card, and none of it counts toward your monthly allowance. After that, you get 3 lessons or 180 minutes free every month, whichever runs out first, and it refills on the 1st. If you need more than that in a month, it is one simple plan. Nothing you have already made gets locked away, and the students' side is always free.
In the classroom
Skippy listens while you teach and builds from what you say in the room. It happens live, while you talk.
You get notes of what you covered, a map of the lesson and slides to replay it, which also download as PowerPoint or PDF. You also get games and quiz rounds for the board, a printable worksheet with its answer key, a plain summary for parents and an RPH draft for you to review and confirm.
Other tools give you something to run. Downtime supports the whole lesson as it happens: it builds the notes while you teach, has a round ready on the point you just made, backs you up when the class needs settling or waking up, and drafts the RPH afterwards. All of it comes from this lesson, not from a bank.
It works for both. In the room, press start and teach. Online, paste your Zoom, Meet or Teams link: Skippy listens through the call, and Send to Meeting posts a game's link in the chat so students can join on their own devices.
On one screen, the whole class plays together in teams. If students join on their own devices, up to 60 can play at once, and a large class can be split into separate game rooms.
Games on the board are short: a Titan Takedown battle takes about three minutes and a Quiz Show two to four. For games on students' own devices, you pick 3, 5, 7 or 10 minutes, 5 by default.
Yes, as many as you want in one session. Each one can cover the whole lesson so far, or just the part you taught most recently.
It builds from whatever you have covered so far. A game that needs more questions than that tells you so, and opens once your lesson has given it enough.
Yes. From Science and Maths to English, History and Geography, in whatever order you teach. Downtime builds from what you say, so if you can teach it, it can build from it.
From lower primary through upper secondary and beyond. You set the age group when you start, and the difficulty, pacing and visual style follow it.
Yes. Teach the ocean and the screen becomes a coral reef. Teach Rome and it becomes the Colosseum. The world is themed to the topic and builds while you teach.
Recording and privacy
No recording of the lesson is kept. Downtime turns what is said into text as you teach, because that is what it builds from, and the text is kept with the lesson. Speech is transcribed live under zero data retention, and in an online class the meeting bot's audio is deleted as soon as the lesson ends. Students never sign in or make an account, and they join games with a first name only. When a class is saved, those first names and their game scores are kept with that class. If students answer aloud in an activity on their own devices, each spoken answer is saved with the activity so you can review it.
Students never make an account and never log in, so there is no password to leak. That is a design decision, not a setting you have to find.
Yes. Access, correct or delete your personal data whenever you want. Email support@leonclassroom.com and we will handle it.
Language, price and plans
Yes. Teach in Bahasa Malaysia, English or a mix of both, and the notes, questions and read-aloud come back in your lesson's language, in a matching voice. It follows your lesson, not the other way round.
Until Fri 16 Oct, every lesson is free with no limit and no card. After that, every month you get 3 lessons or 180 minutes free, and the allowance comes back on the 1st. A subscription lifts the monthly limit. Everything you have already made stays yours to open, and the students' side is always free.
Until Fri 16 Oct they cannot: every lesson is free, with no limit. After that, once the month's 3 lessons or 180 minutes are used you will be asked to subscribe to keep going. Everything you already made stays yours; you just cannot start a new lesson until you subscribe or the allowance refills on the 1st.
Yes, whenever you like. It takes effect at the end of the current billing period, so you keep access until then.
Card, processed securely through Stripe.
Yes. Put several teachers on one bill, with shared oversight and centre-branded rooms and printables. Contact us and we will build a plan that fits.
