Classes
Save each class once. Every tool uses the class you choose at the top of the page, and each class keeps its own seating plan.

Paste a whole list of names
M, F and NB are optional. They're only used when you tick "Mix genders".
Keep apart
Choose two students who shouldn't sit or work together.
The seating plan and group maker will never put these students together.
Seating plan
Drag tables by their name tab. Drag students to swap seats, or from the "Not seated" tray. Double-tap a seat to lock it so sorting leaves it alone.
Group maker
Split your class into random groups in one tap.
Discussion map
Arrange students to match the room, press Start, then tap whoever is speaking. Lines show who followed whom, and badges count each student's turns.

Spin to pick a name. Use your class or type any list, such as topics or questions.

Tap the dice to roll.

Keeps running while you use other tools. You'll see it at the top of the page.

Press start to listen
Uses your microphone to measure volume. Nothing is recorded or sent anywhere.
Rules board
Your class expectations, big enough for the back row. Press full screen at the top to put them on the projector.
Mood scenes
Set the atmosphere with a moving scene and background music. The music keeps playing while you use other tools.
The music and scenes are created live by your browser, so there are no copyright worries about playing them in class.

A question with no easy answer, to get the class thinking and talking. Run a think, pair, share, or turn it into a writing sprint.
Is it ever right to break a rule?
