The Name Picker is a simple and fair way to randomly select a student in your classroom. This ensures everyone has an equal chance to be chosen, without preference or order.
How it works:
Open the tool
When you place the Name Picker on the board, the settings screen will open automatically.
Select students
Choose a group of students from your lists.
You can include or exclude individual students by checking or unchecking their names.
If you haven’t created a group yet, first create one in your student management.
Set the order of selection
Pick each name only once: Each student will be chosen once until everyone has had a turn. Perfect if you want to give everyone a fair chance.
Random selection: Each pick is completely random, and all names stay in the pool every time.
Choose display options
Show either first names only or full names.
Add effects
Animation: Add a shuffle animation for extra excitement when picking a name.
Sound: Play a sound effect each time a name is chosen.
Save and start
Once you’ve set your preferences, click Save.
Press the shuffle button to randomly select the next student. Their name will appear clearly on the board
💡Tip: Use the Name Picker to keep classroom activities fair and engaging. For example, let it decide who answers a question, presents first, or helps with a classroom task. The shuffle and sound options make the process fun and suspenseful for students.
