3. Key Features & Customization
- Fair random selection: removes bias by randomly choosing students from the roster.
- No-repeat mode: make sure every student is called once before the list resets.
- Persistent roster: student names are saved in the browser for easy reuse.
- Classroom-ready UI: responsive controls work well on tablets, Chromebooks, and interactive whiteboards.
- Clear participation history: the called student list shows who has already participated.
4. No-Repeat Calling for Classroom Equity
No-repeat calling is one of the strongest features for fair classroom participation. When enabled, each student is removed from the active roster after being selected, so quieter learners and new students get a chance to speak.
This behavior helps teachers reduce favoritism or accidental repetition, making every student feel included and keeping the classroom energy balanced.
It also improves classroom management by keeping the participation sequence transparent and easy to follow.
5. Sharing and Exporting
The app saves your roster in the browser, so you can reopen it later without retyping names. While it does not export directly, you can copy the roster list manually or keep a shared class list in a document for reuse.
The called student history is visible on screen, which makes it easy to document participation outcomes and use the list during class debriefs.
6. When to Use This Caller?

- During class discussions to choose who answers next.
- For group work to assign starters and group leaders.
