WhirlPicker

Random name picker for teachers

Spin a wheel to pick a student, fairly. WhirlPicker remembers who has had a turn, skips students who are away today, and works full screen on a projector or smartboard.

How it works

  1. Paste your class list, straight from a spreadsheet if you like.
  2. Mark who's away today.
  3. Spin with Space or a presentation clicker. Use Pass or Away today when you need to.

Questions teachers ask

Can I save more than one class?

Yes. Keep a list for each class or period and switch between them in one tap. Each class has its own turns and history.

Will students see anything distracting?

No ads, ever. Present full screen hides the editing controls and shows only the wheel and the name.

Can I see who has had the fewest turns?

Yes. Participation lists each student's turns, passes and when they were last picked.

Is WhirlPicker free?

Yes. There are no ads, no accounts and nothing to install, and names never leave your device.
