Random Student Name is a tool for randomly selecting students
from your class. It will select in an unbiased fashion and
without repetition until all members have been selected.
Typically Random Student Name is used for deciding 'who will
answer the next question', or for dividing your class into
random pairs or teams for group work. At the beginning of the
school year teachers can set their class list (up to 32
students). Random student name is easy to edit when students
need to be added or taken from your class list. It is also easy
to temporarily omit a student from the list in the case of
students which may be absent on a particular day. This is one of
many creative interactive activities available from John Short's
wonderful website: A 60 second timer with a difference! A sure-
fire way of getting your students' attention in 10 seconds. If I
had to recommend just one book about classroom management, it
would be "Tools for Teaching" by Fred Jones. Fred Jones has
observed teachers (good and bad) in classroo
