How to Use the Random Name Picker
Type or paste your class list, one name per line, then press Pick a Name. The tool selects one entry at random and shows how many names are left in the current round. Press the button again for the next pick.
Fair calling with no-repeat mode
With Don't repeat ticked, each name is removed from the pool after being picked.
When the whole class has been called, the pool refills automatically for a new round.
Untick the option to allow the same name to come up more than once.
Use Reset Round to put every name back straight away.

Random picking keeps students engaged and removes the bias of always choosing the same hands. Reshuffle often so expectations stay fresh.
