3.    In the Student Picker dialog box, click the Pick Random Student button to select a student to present. The name of the selected student appears in the dialog box.

If students are logged into the session, then the Student Picker selects only students who have joined. If students are not participating via their Student Panels, then the Student Picker selects from the roster for the class. In the Teacher Panel, teachers have options to mix both of these lists.
