How it works

Call on students in three steps.

01

Paste your roster

Add every student in the class — one name per line. Update it anytime attendance changes.

02

Call on a student

Hit call. Names flash, then land on one fair random student. No favorites, no awkward silence.

03

No repeats this period

Called students are marked so you don’t pick the same person twice until you reset the period.

FAQ

Questions & answers

Everything about fair classroom name picking.

How is this different from a regular name picker? +

Random Student Picker is built for classrooms: it tracks who’s already been called and won’t repeat them until you reset the period — so participation stays fair across the lesson.

Is the student picker truly random? +

Yes. Each call uses your browser's cryptographic-grade random generator among students who haven’t been called yet.

What happens when everyone has been called? +

You’ll see that the period is complete. Hit “Reset period” to clear the called list and start a fresh round.

Do I need an account? +

No. Random Student Picker is free for teachers with no sign-up, no limits, and no watermark.
