Made by Teachers, for Teachers

Call on every student knowing they’re confident and prepared

PrepPanel helps teachers build smarter, more engaging classrooms by giving every student a voice without the stress of random cold-calling.

The Challenge Teachers Face

  • Cold-calling creates anxiety and shuts down voices

  • The same few students dominate discussions

  • Teachers juggle too many tabs and tools during class

  • Participation feels unfair or unpredictable

  • Discussion protocols get stale and repetitive

  • Forming groups takes time and often feels inequitable

  • Personalized learning requires complex, custom, or expensive systems to manage student progress

  • Gradebooks weren't built to track mastery, they were built to manage compliance

“It was super easy to use. I pasted my student first names from a spreadsheet, and I tossed my popsicle sticks. The posting of the discussions and timers help keep my students on track as well. I will be sharing this with other teachers.”

Why I Built PrepPanel

As a former teacher, I know the stress of managing classroom participation. Relying on volunteers meant the same confident voices dominated every discussion. Cold calling, on the other hand, created fear and anxiety.PrepPanel grew out of a simple belief: every student deserves the chance to participate with confidence, and every teacher deserves tools that make their job easier, not harder. By giving students time to prepare, we create classrooms where learning thrives.What started as a smarter student picker to replace jars, popsicle sticks, and index cards has become so much more. With PrepPanel, you can set timers, generate groups, track participation, post learning targets, freshen up your discussion protocols, make the perfect seating chart every time, and even run a student self-paced classroom and mastery learning tracker.... all in one place. Think of it as your classroom multi-tool: ready whenever you need it.
