Fair participation without overcalling
Random selection helps distribute participation across the room. No-repeat mode is especially helpful during review sessions because it prevents the same confident students from being picked repeatedly.
When to use it
Use the picker for reading order, warm-up answers, quick checks for understanding, presentation order, lab roles, discussion questions, or choosing who starts a game.
Teacher control
A random picker should support classroom judgment, not replace it. You can reset the list, remove absent students before starting, or use the result as a prompt and choose again if a student needs support.
