SeatLogic Use Case

Classroom Seating Chart Maker

Design a classroom where every student is set up to focus, participate, and thrive.

The right seating arrangement does not happen by accident. It comes from understanding which students work well together, which pairs amplify each other's distractions, and who needs to be within arm's reach of the teacher. SeatLogic gives you a visual map of your class so every decision is informed, not guesswork.

These are the challenges that bring people to SeatLogic

Student Dynamics Are Invisible Until It Is Too Late

Two students who distract each other, a friendship cluster that derails group work, a student who needs to be near the front for hearing or vision reasons — these dynamics exist before the year starts, but traditional grid-based seating charts capture none of it.

Rearranging for Group Work Takes the Whole Lesson

Switching from rows to collaborative groups mid-term means manually reassigning every student and hoping you remember which pairs work well together. Without a visual record of those working relationships, the same mistakes get repeated term after term.

Accessibility and IEP Requirements Get Lost in the Layout

Students with IEPs, hearing impairments, visual needs, or mobility considerations have specific placement requirements. Tracking those needs in a flat seating grid means relying on memory — which is not a safe system for a room of thirty students.

How SeatLogic Solves It

Purpose-built tools that make the difference

Relationship Mapping for Peer Dynamics

Connect students with "friend" connections for productive partnerships, and "avoid" connections for pairs who distract each other. Before you place a single student in a seat, you have a complete picture of the relationship map you are working with - reducing trial and error significantly.

Learning Groups as Visual Clusters

Create a Group for each learning cluster (reading levels, collaboration teams, or behavioural pairings) and SeatLogic draws a colour-coded bubble around each one. You can see immediately whether a group is balanced before the optimizer assigns students to physical seats.

Accessibility and Special Needs Tagging

Use the notes field on each student node to record IEP or accessibility requirements. Add a tag for "front row", "aisle access", or "hearing loop" and filter by tag in the sidebar to ensure every requirement is honoured in the final layout.

Fast Seasonal Reshuffling

Classrooms change every term. With SeatLogic you can move students between groups with a drag, test alternative arrangements by looking at the relationship connections, and undo any change that creates a new conflict - all in minutes, not a lesson period.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know

SeatLogic is a relationship-based tool rather than a room blueprint tool, so it does not draw walls or desk grids. Instead, you position students freely on the canvas to approximate your desired layout. Groups represent clusters or rows, and the spatial arrangement on the canvas can mirror the physical room as closely as you find useful.
Use groups to organise students into rows, pods, or tables. You can collapse a group in the sidebar to focus on one section at a time, or use the search bar to jump to a specific student. The canvas supports pan and zoom so even large classes stay navigable.
With a paid plan you can create multiple projects, each representing a different configuration. Switch between your "rows for direct instruction" project and your "collaborative pods" project as needed. Both are cloud-saved so you never lose a configuration that worked.
All data is encrypted in transit and at rest. SeatLogic uses Supabase for cloud storage with enterprise-grade security. We recommend entering only first names or initials for student nodes to keep personally identifiable information to a minimum. Your data is never shared with third parties.
You can export the seating layout as a CSV (which lists students, their group/table, and any notes) that a substitute can reference from a printed sheet. A JSON export lets a colleague import the full project into their own SeatLogic account. Shareable view links are on the roadmap.
