How to Use a Random Name Picker in Class

Teachers often need a fair way to call on students. A random name picker avoids bias and improves classroom participation.

Step 1: Import your Excel roster

Prepare an Excel file with student names in the first column and optional class data in other columns.

Step 2: Start a random draw

Use the draw button to pick one student at a time. Enable or disable repeated picks depending on your activity format.

Step 3: Keep data private

Prefer tools that run fully in your browser so student names are not uploaded to external servers.
