Classroom Random Student Picker
Paste your class list, go full screen, and call on students fairly — nobody is picked twice until everyone has had a turn.
How many names?
12 of 12 filled. Empty boxes are left off the wheel.
Tip: press Enter to jump to the next box, Ctrl + Enter to run it.
How it works
- Paste your class list. First names or initials are enough — nothing leaves your browser.
- Press Full screen for the projector or interactive whiteboard.
- Spin. Each student called is set aside so everyone gets a turn; press Restore to start a new round.
What people use it for
Cold-calling, made fair
Students see the choice is random, so it feels impartial.
Participation rounds
Rotate through the whole class without keeping track on paper.
Activities
Choose who reads, who answers, who comes to the board.
Questions
- Is student data stored?
- No server ever sees your list. It is kept only in your browser on this device so you don't have to retype it — clear it any time with the Clear button.
- Will a student be picked twice?
- Not while “Remove winner after each spin” is on, which is the default here. Turn it off if you want every draw to include everyone.
- Does it work on a smart board?
- Yes. Use Full screen, and the wheel and the winner name scale to the screen.
