Seating chart

The seating chart widget helps you organize your students' seats in seconds. You can create a random seating arrangement or plan where each student should sit, all by using your class roster.

Teachers use the seating chart to manage classroom behavior, encourage new student interactions, or quickly assign seats for group work and testing days. It saves time and helps keep your classroom organized.
