I am working on a new interactive classroom platform for engaging your students. The new platform, Deck.Toys is now in beta.

Deck.Toys allows you to turn regular lessons into highly interactive experiences for students.

If you are teaching in a 1:1 or BYOD classroom with any mobile devices such as laptops, Chromebooks or iPads, do join the Deck.Toys Beta.

Also, do share Deck.Toys to your colleagues. Thanks!

My previous ‘Mystery’ puzzle tool, Mystery Piano has caught the interest of many teachers who began using it in the classroom. Therefore, I have continued to create a new puzzle creator tool, Mystery Mines.

Mystery Mines allows you to use pixel-art as a clue for your Breakout EDU challenges. You can also embed a hidden message that will appear when students complete the puzzle.

For teachers in the Breakout EDU community, I have created a free and simple puzzle tool called Mystery Piano.

It allows you to hide a message that is revealed when students play the full sequence of piano notes correctly.

Mystery Piano can be used not only in the classroom but shared among friends too. 🙂

Try it below:

To install the Toshiba Bluetooth Stack with your Bluetooth adapter, you may need to disable driver signature enforcement if you are using Windows 8 or Windows 8.1.

Firstly, you will need to boot up Windows in Advanced Startup mode. This can be done by clicking on the Restart Computer button in the Bluetooth Stack Tool.

Your computer will restart, and the following screen will appear.

Click Troubleshoot.

Click Advanced options

Click Startup Settings

Click Restart

Select Disable driver signature enforcement by pressing F7 on your keyboard

Next, you may try running the tool again for the Toshiba Bluetooth Stack to detect and install drivers for your Bluetooth adapter.

In Windows, the Wii Remote Plus requires the use of the Toshiba Bluetooth Stack or the DolphinBar. For more information regarding this issue, you may refer to http://www.smoothboard.net/wiiremoteplus/

Some Smoothboard users have difficulties installing the Toshiba Bluetooth Stack and thus I have made a tool to simplify the process.

If you have difficulties installing the Toshiba Bluetooth Stack for your device, this tool may work for you. If you have any issues with the tool, you may post a comment here.

The Bluetooth Stack Tool automates some of the steps required to force the Toshiba drivers to be used for your Bluetooth adapter.

The following steps are automated:

1. Identify your Bluetooth Adapter’s hardware ID.
2. Insert the entries into C:\Program Files (x86)\Toshiba\Bluetooth Toshiba Stack\Drivers\tosrfusb\tosrfusb.inf.
3. Update the registry to pretend to be a Toshiba Bluetooth Stack compatible adapter.
