How to use

What it is

A digital name hat. Add your class list and let the tool pick students at random — fair, fast, and visible to the whole class.

Steps

  1. Paste or type your student names, one per line.
  2. Optionally tick “No repeats” so every student gets a turn.
  3. Click “Pick one” and show the result on the projector.

Classroom tips

  • Use it for cold-calling questions to keep everyone alert.
  • Turn on no-repeat mode at the start of a week for fair turns.
  • Let a student press the button — it builds trust in the fairness.
