Handraise is a digital hand-raising queue for your classroom. Students join your session from their own device, raise their hand with a tap and wait their turn. You see everyone in the order they asked and help them one at a time. No more guessing who was first.
How it works
- You create a session for a class or group and start it.
- Students join with a 6-character session code, a link or a QR code. They don't need an account.
- Students raise their hand and choose what they need help with. They can see their place in line.
- You answer questions in order and mark each one as answered. The next student moves up automatically.
Key terms
