Hello, and thank you for assisting us educate children how to cope in an emergency, and the appropriate use of Triple Zero (000), Australia’s emergency call service.
This game is designed for children of kindergarten and primary school age and consists of fifteen safety scenarios. The estimated game-play time is one hour, but can be played in shorter intervals.
The game relies on narrative and on voice-prompts. As such, competing noise in a computer classroom can detract from the experience. If available, the use of earphones for each computer will assist. In the event that earphones are not available, using a projector and a central game-play with one computer, using the closed captions option in the game or greater separation of players are all viable alternatives.
This resource is intended for teachers of students in Kindergarten, Grade 1 and Grade 2. The resource has been designed to teach children the practical steps on how to identify, confidently react to and report legitimate emergencies by calling Triple Zero (000). The teaching and learning activities in the resource assist students to achieve outcomes in the Australian Curriculum for English, Technologies, Humanities and Social Sciences, Science, and Health and Physical Education.

Wireless mirroring is preferred, but if this isn’t available you will need to use a cable. We recommend using the official Apple HDMI adapter for the most reliable connection. This mirrors the iPad display to your projector or smartboard. If the display doesn’t appear, double-check the cable, adapter and input channel.
000Classroom requires all connected devices to run the same version of the app. If you see a version mismatch warning, update all devices through the App Store to ensure they match.
The version number is shown on the main screen of the 000Classroom app.
An internet connection is required for the app to sync with student Buzzer devices. Some school guest WiFi networks block peer-to-peer communication needed to start a session. If the room code does not appear, use the iPad’s Personal Hotspot instead of the school network.
To stop the iPad from sleeping during a session:
Open Settings
Tap Display & Brightness
Tap Auto-Lock
Select Never
If a student’s device disconnects, simply reopen the Buzzer app and join using the same room code. The device will automatically resume at the current point in the session.
Both 000Classroom and 000Buzzer are currently supported on iOS devices only. If you require access on Android or other platforms, please contact us for assistance.
The version number is located in the top-right corner of the 000Buzzer app screen.
