How to use the Classroom Name Picker

The Classroom Name Picker is a focused Random Name Picker preset for teachers. It loads sample student names so you can see how the wheel works, then swap in your real class list.

Use it for cold-calling, reading turns, quiz volunteers, and presentation helpers. Enable remove-winner when each student should only be picked once per round, and use fullscreen when projecting for the class.

The template above is already loaded. Edit the names, then open the main Random Name Picker hub for every template and the full guide.

Classroom tips for fair student picks

Check the roster for duplicate first names before spinning if every student should have one equal chance. Disable absent students instead of deleting them so you can re-enable tomorrow. For presentation order, spin once per slot with remove-winner on so the sequence stays unique.
