Random Student Picker Wheel
Random Student Picker Wheel helps teachers choose a student for a question, reading turn, demonstration, or activity without visibly favoring the same volunteers.
Pick a student from your class list
Use random selection with teacher judgment
Check the roster before class and remove absent students. Consider language needs, accessibility, anxiety, and any agreed accommodations. The wheel is best for suitable low-risk participation, not for discipline, grading, or situations that require professional judgment.
Questions
Choose who answers after giving the whole class thinking time.
Reading turns
Create balanced turns with the remove option enabled.
Demonstrations
Select from students who are prepared and comfortable participating.
Explain the rule before the first spin and always allow a reasonable pass when flexibility is needed.
