Flippity is a web service that generates interactive products via information you put into one of their Google Sheets templates. Wanna make flashcards? they have a template for that. Need ideas for students to start free-writes or short stories? They have a template for that. Give out certificates or badges for completion of skills? Yarp! Template!
One of the coolest templates (and most useful across all subjects) is their Random Name Generator! You can call on kids randomly during discussions, create groups and teams, and have the ability to make changes. I created a 5 minute screencast below on how, within a few steps, you could have your own random name generator with your entire roster!
Because Flippity houses your unique link on their servers, simply bookmark the website it generates and you can have access to it throughout the year. Its a great way to get around leaning on the same students for classroom discussions or for creating student groups from scratch.
Hope it helps and as always, feel free to contact me if you need help setting it up!
