How to pick names randomly for a classroom

Set the class up once, spin all year.

  1. Paste the class list, one name per line.
  2. Give it a title, then save the wheel — it stays in this browser.
  3. Open fullscreen for the projector.
  4. Spin.

Not the same student twice

Classroom mode turns on “remove winner after spin”, so each name leaves the wheel once it comes up. Start over puts everyone back for the next lesson without touching the saved list.

Quiet by default

Sound off, a muted palette and no celebration animation. All three can be turned on if the room wants them.

Student names stay on the device

Lists are held in the browser and never uploaded, so there is no account to create for a class and no student names sitting on someone else's server. The trade-off is that a list saved on one computer is not on another.
