Random Students

Fair, no-arguments student picking.

Spin the wheel to call on a student, hand out a classroom job, or form partners. The wheel decides, so you don’t have to.

How it works

Random Students in three steps

Here’s the whole flow, start to finish.

1
Pick your class
Your roster loads automatically — choose the class and the wheel fills with names.
2
Spin in front of everyone
Launch it on the board and spin. The wheel lands on one name for all to see.
3
Everyone gets a turn
Picked students are set aside until the whole class has had a go, then the wheel resets.

Built for the front of the room

Everything here is about making a pick quick, visible, and easy to trust.

Everyone sees it's fair
The whole class watches the wheel spin and land — so no one can say you always call on the same people.
Your roster, already loaded
Names come straight from your class list, so there's nothing to type before you spin.
Groups and partners too
Beyond single picks, spin up balanced teams or partner pairs in a tap.
How a spin works

Let the wheel do the choosing

Tap GO and the whole class watches a name come up — everyone can see the pick was random.

A spin-to-select wheel of student names
  1. 1
    Names load themselves
    Your class roster fills the wheel automatically — no typing names before every spin.
  2. 2
    The spin happens on the board
    The wheel turns full-screen in front of the class and lands on a name — not you scanning a list at your desk.
  3. 3
    Take names off as they go
    Remove students who’ve already had a turn so everyone gets called on.
Lives on the whiteboard
Spin it on the big screen so the whole class watches the wheel land together, then get straight back to the lesson.
