Abstract:

This tool is an online tool to help teachers create groups at random for their classroom students. All you do it create a list and then enter the students’ names. Then you pick how many students you want in a group. The computer then automatically creates the groups at random. This is a very user friendly tool that is quick and easy to set up. All you have to do is create a list one time and then each timer you want to make new groups you generate the groups using your original list. This would be a great tool for all grade levels because it makes it so that the groups are at random and drawn fairly. We all use group work in our classroom and now we can do it with less complaints from students because we can have a “you get what you get and you don’t throw a fit” attitude towards forming groups. I really like this tool and see it to be very valuable for me.
