Quick answer
Use a random name picker for classroom participation, group work, prize draws, review games, and no-repeat student selection.
Use no-repeat selection for participation
When calling on students, no-repeat mode helps avoid selecting the same person repeatedly while others wait.
Create groups or prize draws
A classroom picker can select presentation order, assign groups, choose review-game teams, or pick small prize winners.
Keep student privacy in mind
For public screens, use first names, initials, table numbers, or nicknames when privacy is important.
