The Today’s Date tool shows the current day, date, and month on your interactive whiteboard. It’s a simple but effective way to help students learn about days of the week and keep track of the calendar.

How it works

  1. Add the tool to your board

    • The tool automatically displays today’s date, including the day of the week, the number, and the month.

  2. Resize and place

    • You can move the tool anywhere on your board.

    • Resize it so it stays visible during lessons, for example in the corner of your board.

  3. Open settings

    • Click the gear icon to customize the display.

    • Choose a color for each day of the week. This helps make the days stand out and can make it easier for younger students to recognize them.

    • You can also toggle whether the day of the week is shown.

  4. Automatic updates

    • The date updates automatically each day, so you don’t need to change it manually.

💡Tip: Keep Today’s Date visible throughout the school day. Combine it with your morning routine by asking students to read out the day, date, and month. The color coding is especially useful for younger learners to connect days of the week with visual cues.
