Made by Teachers, for Teachers
PrepPanel helps teachers build smarter, more engaging classrooms by giving every student a voice without the stress of random cold-calling.
Cold-calling creates anxiety and shuts down voices

Participation feels unfair or unpredictable
Discussion protocols get stale and repetitive
Forming groups takes time and often feels inequitable
Students know their turn is coming — no surprises
Every voice is included in class conversations
Teachers save time with all-in-one classroom tools
Participation is fair and transparent for everyone
Fresh, ready-to-use prompts keep discussions lively
Groups are created instantly and equitably
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, and freshen up your discussion protocols—all in one place. Think of it as your classroom multi-tool: ready whenever you need it.
