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

  1. Paste one student name per line.
  2. Check spelling and remove absent students.
  3. Use Remove Winner or No-Repeat Mode when every student should be selected once.
  4. Reset the list for a new class period or activity.

Good Uses

  • Calling on students
  • Choosing presentation order
  • Assigning classroom helpers
  • Creating discussion turns
