Keeping a school computer room running often means having a few macOS versions on hand — for older iMacs that cannot update, for testing software before a term starts, or for setting up a dedicated offline machine. This category gathers the macOS releases I have checked on our club iMac M1. Each one installs from a bootable USB the way our technician showed me.

You will find macOS Catalina and macOS Mojave for older setups, plus macOS High Sierra for machines still on mechanical hard drives. I add newer builds when they prove stable enough for classroom use. Pick the version that matches your hardware, and the torrent file lands on your current Mac ready for a USB stick.
A game lands here when I can explain the rules in a few sentences and the Thursday club can play it on the iMac without a lecture first. I take one off when I would not open it again myself.
Classroom-friendly is not a sticker I print. It means I would leave the game on the projector while I step into the hall. If I would not, it stays off the front of the shelf.
