For teachers

Classroom name picker

Cold-calling should not always land on the same three hands. Add your class list, spin, and give every student an equal chance to answer.

Ready

Your winner appears here

One per line. Paste a list, edit anytime.

Call on everyone, fairly

Add your class list once and keep it saved on the classroom device. Enable Remove winner so each student is called before anyone repeats. When the list is empty, clear the recent winners and start the next round.

The wheel is public by design. Students can see the full list and the pointer, which makes the process feel fair even when the result is unpopular.

Projector and whiteboard mode

Open Focus mode on the classroom display. The wheel fills the screen and the winner appears in a large banner at the bottom, readable from the back row. Press Space on a keyboard or click the centre button to spin.

The interface has no pop-ups, no autoplay video, and no account prompt. Ads, when shown, sit below the tool and never cover the wheel.

Privacy and student data

Names are stored in the browser on that device. They are not sent to a server. On a shared classroom computer, clear the list at the end of the day or use first names only.

Avoid adding sensitive information to any entry. The wheel only needs a label, not grades, student IDs, or contact details.

More classroom uses

Use the same wheel to assign group order, pick a line leader, choose a review game, or decide which topic to cover first. Change the entries and keep the routine.

For younger classes, keep the list short and the labels simple. For secondary classes, add table numbers or project topics instead of student names when the task is the point.

Frequently asked questions

Does the classroom picker save my class list?

Yes, in your browser's local storage on that device. Clearing browser data removes it.

Can students see the full list?

Yes. The entries are visible in the panel, which helps show that the draw is fair.

How do I stop repeats during one lesson?

Enable Remove winner. Each selected student leaves the wheel until you reset the list.

Is there a student data privacy concern?

Use first names or initials only, and clear the list on shared devices. Nothing is uploaded to our servers.

Make your own wheel

Start from a blank list and add exactly the entries you need. The wheel updates as you type.
