Seating Charts in Classroom Hero
How Seating Charts Work in Classroom Hero
Open a class and choose Seating Chart. Set the room by rows and columns, or start from a layout like pods or pairs, then drag students into seats. Show it full screen or on the Class Screen, and rearrange it when the room changes instead of redrawing a paper chart.
ROOM LAYOUTS
Shape the Room Before Students Walk In
A new term, a group project, or a desk that has to move: the room rarely stays the same. Set the size by rows and columns, or start from a layout like pods or pairs. The chart matches how you already group the class, so you can start from that layout on the first day.

DRAG AND DROP
Seating changes all year, and redrawing a chart by hand is tedious. Drag students into seats, or swap two of them, in a couple of minutes. You can see which students still need a seat, so the chart is complete before you put it on the board.

Classroom Seating Chart Questions
What is a classroom seating chart in Classroom Hero?
A classroom seating chart is a digital map of the room. The teacher places each student in a seat and can show the chart full screen at the front of the class. Open a class and choose Seating Chart. You can set the layout, drag students into seats, and put the chart on the board.
How do I make a seating chart for my class?
Open a class and choose Seating Chart. Set the room size by rows and columns, or start from a layout like pods or pairs. Drag students into seats or swap two of them, and check which students still need a seat. When the arrangement changes, clear the chart and start over.
Can I arrange seats in rows, pods, or pairs?
Yes. You can set the room size by rows and columns, or start from a layout like pods or pairs. Then drag students into seats or swap two of them until the chart matches the room. You can clear the chart and start over when the room changes.
How do I show a student seating chart on the board?
Show the chart full screen, or put it on the Class Screen at the front of the room. Students can see where to sit as they walk in. The same chart is easy to share with a substitute, and you open it from the class.
Is a classroom seating chart free?
Yes. Seating charts are included on the free plan. The free plan includes 3 live classes, and a class over that limit stays locked until you upgrade. Students never spend real money in Classroom Hero. Open a class and choose Seating Chart to begin.
Do students need an email address to appear on the chart?
No. Students do not need an email address. A teacher adds each student to the class, and only a first name is required. Students can join the class with a class code. The seating chart uses that same class roster.
How does the seating chart fit with the rest of Classroom Hero?
The seating chart lives inside the class. You can show it on the Class Screen, the projector view of the class. Points, recognition, and the class store stay in that same class, so the room plan sits with the tools you already use.
How do I start a classroom seating chart?
Create a class, add your students, and choose Seating Chart. Seating charts are included on the free plan, so a teacher can set one up without a separate school purchase. Put the chart on the board when students walk in.
