WhirlPicker

Random student picker with no repeats

Cold-call fairly. WhirlPicker picks a student at random, then keeps them out until everyone present has had a turn, and remembers the round between lessons.

How it works

  1. Paste your class list.
  2. Mark who's away today.
  3. Press Space or tap SPIN. Use Pass or Away today if the student can't answer.

Questions teachers ask

Will the same student be picked twice?

Not until everyone present has had a turn. Then a new round starts automatically.

What if a student is absent or passes?

Absent students are skipped today and still due when they're back. A pass keeps the student in the round and is recorded.

Can I see who has had the fewest turns?

Yes. Participation in the ⋯ menu 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.
