How to use the Classroom Picker

  1. 1

    Customise the Classroom Picker entries to match your needs — click any slice to rename it, drag to reorder, or use the bulk import dialog to paste a list.

  2. 2

    Tune each entry's weight with the ± stepper. Heavier slices win more often. The live % chip shows each entry's true win chance.

  3. 3

    Hit the SPIN The Wheel button — or just press Space — and watch the wheel pick a winner. Switch sound effects in the customisation panel.

  4. 4

    Share the result with the X, WhatsApp, Facebook, or copy buttons in the winner card. Toggle "Remove Winner" if you want each spin to remove the pick automatically.

The teacher's tool

The Classroom Picker takes a load off teachers — no more "whose hand was up first", no more "I always seem to call on the same kids". The wheel calls on someone fairly every time. Pair it with the "Remove Winner" toggle so every student gets a turn before any repeats.

Beyond Q&A

Use the wheel to assign cleanup duties, pick line leaders, choose presentation order, draw study groups. Any decision a teacher would otherwise make by hand can be delegated to the wheel — which removes the perception of favouritism completely.

Load your real roster

Open the Bulk Import dialog, paste your full class list (one name per line), and the wheel becomes a personalised picker. Up to 100 students per wheel. Save the URL to come back to the same wheel next class.

Frequently asked

Q.01

How do I add my whole class?

Click Bulk Import, paste your class roster (one name per line), and hit Add. Up to 100 students per wheel.

Q.02

Can I make sure every student gets picked once?

Yes. Toggle "Remove Winner" below the wheel — each picked student disappears from the wheel. Reset the wheel when you have gone through everyone.

Q.03

Will the wheel remember my class roster?

Currently the wheel resets between visits. Bookmark the page; account-based saving is on the roadmap.

Q.04

Is the wheel projector-friendly?

Yes — the wheel scales to any screen size, including a classroom projector. The big spin button works well from a clicker or wireless mouse.
