Seats is a classroom management app that makes smart seating charts and selects volunteers just like you would, but faster and easier. And new in Version 2, Seats has several attractive and customizable ways of showing a map of your classroom. You can arrange students into rows or groups based on what's important to you: • Chatty students will be separated from other chatty students. • Students who do better in the front row will be placed there. • Groups can be created with diverse (or similar) ability levels. Need a volunteer? Seats can keep track of who is participating and will randomly select students to pick, prioritizing those who aren't as involved. Seats can be used for up to 2 courses with complete functionality, or unlimited courses can be unlocked with an in-app purchase.
