Classroom Screen Tools Every Teacher Should Bookmark

A handful of browser tools cover most of the small jobs a lesson throws up — pick a student, split a class, run a timer, draw a winner. The point of bookmarking them is that they open on the projector and work straight away, on whatever machine is in the room.

The set worth having

• Random Name Picker — cold-call without the same hands every time. A no-repeat draw spreads turns across the whole class, big enough to read from the back.
• Random Group Generator — paste the register and get balanced groups in a click, with the odd ones spread rather than piled into one group.
• Full-Screen Countdown Timer — a count that fills the projector and holds its time even when it's not the tab you're looking at.
• Raffle & Giveaway Winner Picker — a visible draw with a proper reveal, for a reward or a class prize.

Why these are worth a bookmark

Each does one job and does it properly, rather than being a suite you have to learn. They run in the browser, so there is nothing to install on a locked-down school machine, and they are built to go up on a projector — readable from the back, with the display kept clear of anything crowding the thing that matters. Open one, use it, close the tab.

Keep them together

They live in one place — Classroom & Event Screens — so a single bookmark covers the set. What makes a tool projector-ready in the first place is worth knowing too: classroom tools that work on a projector goes through it.
