No repeat until you paste them back
The called student is deleted when the wheel stops. The next spin cannot land on them. History still shows who has been called.
Classroom Name Picker
Twelve students are already on the wheel. Spin to call one. That student is removed, so the next question goes to someone else.
What this classroom name picker is for
This page calls on one student at random, then takes that student off the wheel. Ava, Noah, Mia, Liam, Sophia, Ethan, Isla, Lucas, Emma, Owen, Chloe, and Jack are a practice class. You can run a pretend lesson on them immediately. Before a real period, paste your roster over those names.
Removal is already on. You do not have to remember a setting while you are teaching. Spin, read the name, ask the question, spin again. The student who just answered is not in the next draw.
The general wheel of names page keeps every name until you remove one yourself. Use that when repeats are allowed. Use this page when the point is to hear from someone new.
Student names stay in this browser. They are not uploaded because you opened the page. Do not publish a roster to the public gallery.
How to call on the class
To practice, spin the twelve names already on the wheel. For your own class, paste the roster into the box first, one student per line.
Click the wheel, or use full screen if the class is looking at a projector. Read the name when the wheel stops. That name leaves the list.
Spin for the next student. When the list is down to the last few, you have heard from almost everyone. Paste the roster again to start a new round.
A practice class is already loaded
The twelve names are there so a teacher can learn the spin without typing a roster first. After one spin the box has eleven names. This browser keeps the shorter list, which is right in the middle of a lesson and wrong if you wanted the sample class back. The names are also written below, so you can paste them again.
Ava, Noah, Mia, Liam, Sophia, Ethan, Isla, Lucas, Emma, Owen, Chloe, Jack.
Your real roster, once you paste it, is stored only for this page. It does not replace the list on the home page.
How the class gets a turn
Every student still in the box has the same size slice. A student who was called is no longer in the box.
Absent students
Delete a line before you start if that student is absent. A name left in the box can be called.
Full screen for the room
Full screen fills the display with this wheel and the list, and hides the rest of the page. The draw works the same way.
Paste the real roster before a real class
The practice names will get called if you leave them there. Replace the box with your students, check the count, then spin. Add a last initial when two students share a first name.
Keep a copy of the roster in your own notes. This page remembers the list after each call, including a list you have partly used. Pasting the full roster again starts the round over.
Same spinner
