SkyFrost is a simple, free online tool created by a teacher to help with classroom management by randomly selecting names from a list, which can be useful for calling on students, forming groups, or choosing volunteers. The Name Selection Tool lets you input a list of names, randomly pick one, and remove selected names from the pool. It also lets you drag and drop names between lists and display the selected name on a separate screen, which is helpful for classrooms with dual displays. The site is lightweight, runs entirely in your browser without uploading any data, and can even be saved locally for offline use, making it a practical classroom resource for promoting fairness and engagement in participation.
tag(s): classroom management (135), Teacher Utilities (214)

Use the tool to randomly call on students during discussions so everyone has an equal chance to share ideas. Ask a fun or reflective question, such as "What is one goal for today?" or "What is one thing you learned yesterday?" Then use SkyFrost to select the students who will respond. Let the tool choose team leaders, helpers, or presenters for activities, review games, or classroom jobs to keep things fun and unbiased.You must be registered and logged in to add items to your favorites.

In the Classroom
Use the seating chart to quickly rearrange students into different seating configurations such as pairs, pods, or rows. Try a new setup each day and have students reflect on how the arrangement affects focus and collaboration. Create seating charts based on instructional goals, such as pairing students for peer support, mixed-ability collaboration, or discussion partners during reading, math, or project work. Create and save multiple seating charts for different scenarios so that substitutes or co-teachers can manage the classroom smoothly without disrupting routines.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member
