Description

Main Features

• Classes of up to 200 students each
• Select a student at random. Track correct responses
• Easily import student lists from Google Classroom
• Device speaks name aloud
• Take attendance so absent students are not called
• Create random groups

Now there is no need for teachers to use popsicle sticks or playing cards to call on students in class. Instead, use your macOS device to call on students in a truly random manner. For student enjoyment, use the 'speak aloud' option so students can hear their name called. The free version allows the use of 1 class while the premium upgrade supports up to 20 classes.

In my classroom I allow the last selected student to push the random call button. This really takes teacher bias out of the selection process and the students feel a need to participate when the device speaks their name.

Version 3.11.4

The Edit Student screen now has up to four customizable learner characteristics such as IEP and ELL which are color coded and will be shown on the group screen. This will allow the option for more purposeful grouping of students. There is now a heterogeneous group option which will place students in different groups when possible.
