Saved rosters stay in this browser. Temporary absences do not change the saved roster. If a class list contains personally identifying information, avoid putting it in public share links or screenshots.

Classroom privacy and projector use

keeps classroom rosters and picker state browser-local and adds connected no-repeat/partner workflows designed for projection. Use minimal display names or nicknames when possible and avoid student IDs, contact details, health information, grades, or other sensitive records.

Teacher-judgment boundary

Random pairing and keep-apart constraints are convenience tools, not classroom-management or student-assessment systems. Accessibility, support needs, safety, relationships, and learning goals still require teacher judgment; the tool does not infer them.

How to use the Classroom Name Picker

Save a class roster locally, mark absent students temporarily, then pick students. “Call everyone once” keeps already-picked students out of the available pool until you reset the round.

What the tool does

Use display names or nicknames only when possible, keep the roster in the browser, and complete a no-repeat participation round without uploading student information.

Fair participation round

No-repeat mode tracks who is still available after absences are applied. Independent-repeat mode intentionally allows the same student to be selected again. Roster and session data stay in this browser.
