Pro Tips for Getting the Most Out of This Tool

1

Tip #1

Encourage peer support: let the chosen student ask a friend for a hint if they get stuck!

Building Psychological Safety in Classroom Cold-Calling

Traditional hand-raising allows the same four vocal students to dominate 80% of classroom discourse, while unannounced teacher cold-calling can feel punitive to shy learners. When an impartial digital wheel spins on the front smartboard, students recognize that everyone shares the exact same mathematical probability of being selected.
By enabling No-Repeat Elimination mode, teachers guarantee that once a student answers a question or reads a passage, their slice is removed for the rest of the period—ensuring 100% roster participation before anyone is called twice.

FERPA-Conscious Local Roster Storage & Multi-Period Presets

Student privacy is paramount. Every name entered into the Random Student Picker is saved strictly inside your browser’s local storage (localStorage) and is never transmitted to external cloud servers. Departmental teachers can save separate first-name or seat-number presets for Period 1 through Period 6.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. Everything stays 100% in your browser's local storage, making it safe for K–12 and university classroom privacy standards.
