Practical Ed Tech Tip of the Week – Random Name Selectors

At one point or another every teacher has asked for volunteers and not had any hands raised. In that case using a random name selection tool is an easy way to choose students to call on. And for those times when all of your students raise their hands for something fun, a random name selector is a convenient tool to have at your disposal too. In the video below I demonstrate how to use Classtools.net’s Random Name Picker and Fruit Machine to randomly select names.
