**Random Name Generator**
Click here to select a student ===Encouraging all students to participate in lessons in order to elicit evidence of their achievement can be difficult. One method which involves a no-hands up policy is to employ the use of a random generator to randomly select students. Some studies have shown that this is beneficial in that it helps keep the attention of students as they are unsure whether they might be next and are more likely to maintain engagement in the lesson. The benefit of many of the tech solutions is that they are very visual, names can easily be saved and updated and as many lessons involve the use of computer based presentations they can easily be integrated within the lesson.===

Padlet (formerly known as Wallwisher)
====Is a free Internet application that allows people to express their thoughts on a common topic easily. It works like an online sheet of paper where educators can put any content (e.g. images, videos, documents, text) anywhere on the page, together with anyone from any device. The best thing is that users can create as many walls as they want. Padlet is a good product for making easy class projects and managing groups with easy interaction, collaboration, sharing and learning.====
