Split a class into teams, lay out a seating plan, decide an order of presentations and call on students fairly. Student names stay in your browser and never appear in a shareable link.

Frequently asked questions
Do student names leave the browser?
No. Class lists are processed on your own device, are not sent to a server, and are deliberately kept out of shareable links, so a URL you project or paste cannot carry a roster of real children's names with it.
Is the team splitter actually fair?
It shuffles properly, using an unbiased algorithm rather than the sort-by-random trick that quietly favours some orderings. Where a class does not divide evenly the remainder is spread across teams rather than piled onto the last one.
Can I get the same groups again tomorrow?
Yes, if you use a seed. The same class list and the same seed always produce the same grouping, which is useful when you want continuity across a week. Leave the seed empty when you want a genuinely different split each time.
How do I make sure the same student is not picked twice?
Use the tools that draw without replacement: they remove each name as it is drawn, so everyone is called once before anyone is called again. A plain random picker can legitimately return the same name twice in a row, which is fair but rarely what a classroom wants.
Do these work on an interactive whiteboard or projector?
Yes. The pages are readable at a distance, work with touch as well as a mouse, and do not depend on hovering, which does nothing on a touch screen. Nothing requires an account or an installation on a school device.
Is anything stored between lessons?
Only what you choose to keep, and only in your own browser. Favourites and recently used tools live in local storage on that device, are never uploaded, and can be cleared from the page itself at any time.
Is there a class size these stop working at?
Not in practice. The seating and grouping tools handle a normal class comfortably and cope with year-group sizes; very large lists simply take a moment longer to lay out. Nothing is capped at a number that a school would run into.
