1. Form student seating charts - Since I won't know any of my students at the beginning of the new school year, I could use Flippity to generate seating charts so that it is completely random to start. As I get to know personalities and needs, I love that Flippity allows simple adjustments to be made.
2. Form student groups - I love the ease in which Flippity allows you to change groups or jigsaw groups so that students can work with a variety of their classmates. I always struggle with forming groups, so this will be a huge time saver to make the initial groups, and I can adjust as necessary.
3. Randomly select students - I am not a huge fan of randomly calling on students, but I could use the random name generator to provide an order for when all students know in advance they will have to share, present, etc.
4. Print the groupings - It seems pretty simple to print the random groups that are generated and this could come in handy to leave for subs, use it for checklists for students, etc.
5. Set a timer - When giving students a timed task, they will be able to view how much time they have left with their groups, partners, etc.
