The random student picker wheel

Cold-calling on memory tends to repeat the same few hands. The Random Student Picker Wheel spins through your class list (or an activity list) and lands on a genuinely fair pick using crypto-grade randomness. Load your roster once, save it as a board, and reuse it every period — Presentation mode makes the pick readable from the back of the room.

Random Student Picker Wheel — frequently asked questions

Is the Random Student Picker Wheel free?

Yes — the Random Student Picker Wheel is completely free, with no login and no sign-up. Pro removes the small ads and lifts the saved-boards limit, but the wheel itself is never behind a paywall.

Can I change the options on the wheel?

Absolutely. The 6 options are just a starting point. Open the wheel, edit the list one entry per line, and your changes appear on the wheel instantly. Save it as your own board or share a link.

Is the spin actually random?

Yes. Roue picks the winning segment with crypto-grade randomness (the Web Crypto API's getRandomValues), not Math.random. The visual spin is calibrated to land exactly on the chosen result.

Does it work on a projector or shared screen?

Yes. Presentation mode hides the controls and scales the wheel and result to fill any screen — a classroom projector, a stage display, or a stream overlay. Press ESC to exit.
