Classroom Modes

7 Purpose-Built Modes for Every Lesson

Switch routines instantly without re-typing or losing your attendance roster.

Cold-Calling

Random Student Picker

Call on students impartially during Socratic discussions and reading turns with hands-free text-to-speech callouts.

Chore Duty

Classroom Jobs & Duties

Allocate Line Leader, Tech Monitor, Board Eraser, Paper Passer, and Door Holder with zero Monday arguments.

Teams & Size

Group Maker (Size & Count)

Split your class into cooperative learning teams either by total teams or by group size (pairs, triads, squads).

Queue Order

Presentation Order Queue

Spin for the next speaker or shuffle a 1st-to-last presentation lineup with completion checkmarks.

Brain Breaks

Activity Wheel & Breaks

Reset energy with quick kinesthetic exercises like Four Corners, 7-Min Yoga, Silent Speed Ball, or Freeze Dance.

Check-in

Question Picker & Prompts

Randomize checks for understanding across Math, Science, Reading, and Social Studies, or paste test prompts.

Game Show

Review Game Show & Live Scoreboard

Turn revision worksheets into games. Spin for point stakes (100–500 points, Double Points multipliers, and Steals) with a live 4-team scoreboard right beside the wheel.

Teacher Tools

Built for Real Classrooms & Busy School Days

Frictionless workflow features that save instructional minutes and keep class calm.

No-Repeat & Elimination

Automatically hides drawn students so everyone participates before repeating. In-line eye toggles let you eliminate or restore absent students without altering master rosters.

Quick Roster Paste (2s)

Paste names directly from Google Sheets or Excel. The parser automatically removes leading numbers, bullets, commas, and excessive whitespace, and deduplicates names instantly.

Clear Winner History

Every winner is recorded chronologically with timestamps and spin round numbers. Copy the participation log for grading or clear it with one click for the next class period.

Group Size & Team Count

Switch between “Number of Teams” and “Group Size”. Handles odd roster numbers cleanly, balances remainders, and formats rosters for quick clipboard copying.

Smartboard Voice Calling

Smartboard fullscreen mode expands across your interactive whiteboard. Turn on Text-to-Speech narration so the wheel announces the selected student out loud hands-free.

Local Browser Privacy

All student rosters, names, and team allocations run purely in local browser memory. No student identities or data are ever transmitted to external servers or cloud databases.

Instructional Strategies

4 Pedagogical Strategies for Fair Participation

Instructional techniques to maximize classroom equity while eliminating call-out anxiety.

1The 5-Second “Think Time” Buffer

Always state the prompt or question to the room before spinning. If you spin first, only the chosen student pays attention. Stating the prompt first ensures all 25 students formulate an answer in their minds while the wheel spins.

2Lowering Anxiety with “Phone-a-Friend”

Quiet introverts or English Language Learners may freeze during cold-calling. Permit any student called by the wheel to take 10 seconds to “consult an elbow partner” before answering, eliminating freeze while holding students accountable.

3Cooperative Learning with Shuffled Triads

Allowing students to choose their own project partners often results in cliques and excluded peers. Using the Group Maker with “Group Size = 3” creates fresh randomized pairings that teach social collaboration. Reshuffle every two weeks.

4High-Stakes Gamification with Review Wheels

Replace passive test study guides with an active game show. Divide the class into 4 teams and spin the Review Game wheel. When a team answers correctly, they earn the points spun (100 to 500), multipliers, or wildcard steals.

Frequently Asked Questions

Classroom Wheel & Class Spinner FAQs

How does the Classroom Wheel ensure 100% fair student selection?
The classroom wheel uses the browser Web Crypto API (crypto.getRandomValues()) cryptographic pseudorandom number generator (CSPRNG). Every student slice has an exact, mathematically equal probability of selection, eliminating perceived teacher bias or unintentional patterns.
How does the No-Repeat Elimination feature work?
When No-Repeat mode is turned on, any student or item selected by the wheel is automatically hidden from subsequent spins. This ensures every student is called on exactly once during a class period before the teacher clicks Restore Drawn Items.
How do I group students by group size instead of number of teams?
Switch to the Group Maker tab and toggle By Group Size. Select whether you want pairs of 2, triads of 3, squads of 4, or clusters of 5. The generator automatically calculates the optimal number of balanced teams and distributes students evenly using unbiased random shuffling.
How does Quick Roster Paste work with spreadsheets or attendance lists?
Click Quick Roster Paste on the tool. You can copy and paste an entire column of student names directly from Google Sheets, Excel, or a text document. The parser automatically removes leading numbers, bullets, commas, and excessive whitespace, and deduplicates identical names instantly.
How do Presentation Order and Review Game modes work?
Presentation Order allows you to spin for individual speakers or click Shuffle Queue to generate a complete 1st-to-last lineup with interactive checkmarks. Review Game turns worksheets into game shows by spinning for point values (100 to 500 points, multipliers, and wildcards) accompanied by an interactive live team scoreboard.
Is student roster data stored on an external server or tracked?
No. The classroom wheel runs 100% client-side in your local web browser session. All student names, rosters, team allocations, and winner histories remain strictly in your local device memory and are never transmitted to external cloud servers, databases, or analytics services.
