Why Teachers Use Classroom Name Pickers
A classroom name picker is really a workflow tool. It should reduce mental load, support participation, and fit naturally into the pace of a lesson.
Fairness changes participation
Students notice patterns. A visible random picker helps reduce the feeling that the same people are always called on.
Projector mode matters
If the class can see the result, the workflow feels more transparent. That matters during review games and discussions.
Local saved lists are enough for many teachers
An account system can come later. In an MVP, local browser storage handles repeat use on the same classroom device.
