Using and Clearing Student Lists Safely on a Shared Classroom PC

Some SSAEM TOOL features save recently used lists in the same browser so you can reuse them. This is convenient on a personal PC, but needs a quick check on a classroom PC that several people share.

What Can Be Saved?

Some list-based tools save recent lists in your browser. They are not stored in a server account; they only let you reload lists in the current browser.

The tools that currently save recent lists are Random Pick, Groups, Seating, Random Partners, and Roulette.

When Using a Shared PC

  • Use numbers or classroom nicknames instead of real names when possible
  • Check whether a previous user's recent lists remain before you start
  • Delete saved recent lists after class
  • Don't leave student lists behind when others use the same PC

After Class

  • Check the tools that show recent lists.
  • Delete saved student lists.
  • Clear browser site data if needed.
  • Make sure the next user cannot see student names.

What Names Should I Enter?

  • 1, 2, 3
  • Team A, Team B, Team C
  • Classroom nicknames

If an activity doesn't require real names, numbers or nicknames make lists easier to manage on a shared PC.
