Mega Seating Plan instantly generates classroom seating plans, giving teachers more time to be teachers.

We at Skolon, with an international library filled with more than 5,000 digital tools, resources, services and apps for education, met up with Rob Cowen, a high school science teacher who founded Mega Seating Plan in 2015. Rob has built the app and company from scratch. He shared his insights, describing the tool and why they are a part of Skolon.  Let’s explore more about Mega Seating Plan!

Rob, what is Mega Seating Plan and how does it work?

With our tool, teachers can import classes either manually or automatically via Skolon and design the layout of their classrooms. With just a few clicks, they have a seating plan, including student data together with photos of each individual. Students can be automatically sorted based on their data, and the teacher can then drag and drop to fine-tune or create the entire seating arrangement from scratch.

What are the opportunities and who can use Mega Seating Plan?

Mega Seating Plan saves time for teachers. On average, it takes 182 seconds to perfect a seating plan.

Teachers around the world are using Mega Seating Plan to arrange students in their classrooms in the most effective ways for learning, including using Kagan seating plans. The smart tools for arranging classrooms automatically, can group or separate students by attainment, allowing students to support or challenge each other.

Mega Seating Plan also includes extra tools to make teachers’ lives even easier. The name learning tool (and accompanying iOS/Android app) uses low-stakes quizzing to help teachers learn their students’ names rapidly at the start of the year. Magic Reports uses AI to help teachers write reports and references for their students.

The behaviour management tools allow teachers to effortlessly add achievement/behaviour points to their students, and allow administrators to monitor conduct across their school.

Why is Mega Seating Plan a part of Skolon?

In the last couple of years, Mega Seating Plan has really taken off in Sweden, with thousands of teachers and their schools embedding it into their work. Skolon makes integration even easier, by automatically importing staff, classes and students.

Niclas Olsson from Ystad Gymnasium says that “the accessibility and simplicity is the big gain of Skolon integration”, particularly through the SSO and the automatic synchronisation of all teaching groups. ”Everything the teacher needs is already in place.”
