Classroom Name Picker Tips
Paste a class list and use the wheel to select readers, presenters, helpers, discussion participants, or activity order. A visible random process can make participation feel more consistent, but teachers should still account for accommodations and student needs.
Quick Setup
- Paste one student name per line.
- Check spelling and remove absent students.
- Use Remove Winner or No-Repeat Mode when every student should be selected once.
- Reset the list for a new class period or activity.
Good Uses
- Calling on students
- Choosing presentation order
- Assigning classroom helpers
- Creating discussion turns
