Mr. Torres — High School Teacher

Tier: Plus | Platform: iOS (iPad Air, 5th gen) | Stage: Active

Background

Mr. Torres is a Latino educator in his mid-40s who teaches 10th grade biology. He's always looking for ways to make vocabulary practice engaging rather than rote. He projects games on the classroom whiteboard with students taking turns at the iPad. He's tech-savvy enough to configure the app but wants things to work reliably during class.

Goals

• Run classroom games using domain-specific vocabulary (biology terms, weekly vocab)
• Import curriculum word lists from his existing files without re-typing everything
• Use the "Clean" word list validation so students can only play appropriate words
• Review which vocabulary words students played after each game

How He Uses the App

Mr. Torres has run 8 completed classroom games projected on the classroom screen. He's created two custom lists: "Weekly Biology Vocab" (30 words) and "Cell Biology Unit" (45 words), both imported from text files. His classroom preset uses a 15×15 board, clean validation list, no timer, and his biology word list. Average game: 4 students, 20 minutes, 15 turns.

Tier Rationale

Mr. Torres uses Plus for cloud sync (he switches between his school iPad and personal device for prep) and the ad-free experience — ads during class would be distracting. He doesn't need the Hard AI or post-game analysis.
