Use no-repeat selection for participation

When calling on students, no-repeat mode helps avoid selecting the same person repeatedly while others wait.

Create groups or prize draws

A classroom picker can select presentation order, assign groups, choose review-game teams, or pick small prize winners.

Keep student privacy in mind

For public screens, use first names, initials, table numbers, or nicknames when privacy is important.
