"I have used this random student generator website for a few years now and it is amazing how much the students love it. I have a lot of partner and small group work in my classroom and I can guarantee that EVERY time I say there will be partners, the kids always ask, 'Can you use the Random Student Generator?'. more...

"I like the random student generator, but I want a feature to have a true "pick from the hat" where you start with ... say 10 names, you pick 1 and then that name is removed until you reset... so next time you pick you are only picking from 9 names, then 8, then 7.... until you have randomly picked all the names, then you reset back to the original 10."
