How do I add my class list to the classroom tools?
Type or paste names into the class list box, one per line. The same lists are shared by the wheel, name picker, group maker, seating chart and Class Screen, and they stay in this browser.
Step by step
- Open any tool that uses names, for example the random name picker.
- Replace the example names with your own: one per line, or paste a column from a spreadsheet.
- Use New list for another class, Rename to name it (“Period 3”, “Year 5 Maple”), and the Class list menu to switch.
- Prefer not to use names? Press Use numbers instead and give the number of pupils.
- Sort A–Z and Shuffle reorder the list.
Questions and fixes
Should I type surnames?
No. Use first names, initials or numbers only. Lists stay in this browser and are never sent anywhere, but anyone using the same browser could see them.
My work has gone, or isn’t there on another computer
Your class lists is saved in this browser on this device only – nothing is stored with us, so we can’t get it back for you. It won’t appear in a different browser, on another device, or in a private (incognito) window, and clearing your browser’s history or “site data” deletes it. Some school computers clear everything when you log off.
Can I have more than one class?
Yes. Press New list for each class (up to 300 names in each), then pick the class from the Class list menu in any tool.
