Review of Random Name Selector by Wallsall Academy

Random Name Selector is a free app by Walsall Academy that assists teachers with ensuring that all students have an opportunity to speak in class.  The teacher sets up classes as "groups" and enters student names in a list.  The teacher selects a group and presses "Play" and the app presents a "game screen."  With each question, the teacher presses a button and the app presents a new name to the teacher.  The list may be set to present each name once or three times.  The list may also be modified to temporarily remove absent students.

The app is free, but there are in-app ads.  New "game screens" may be purchased in-app, which also turns off the in-app ads.  It is easy to use.  The help is straightforward and the interface is simple.  Handy for teachers wanting to keep track of whom they have called. Four stars out of five.  Click here to download and install  the app.
