Classroom Spinner, Teacher Wheel Hub
Reviewed by Raja Jahangir, SEO/AEO/AIO/GEO/SXO Strategist at Online Spin Wheel. Last updated: .
The Classroom Spinner is a teacher hub with three tabs: random student selection (spin wheel with remove-after-pick), balanced team creation from the same roster style, and a fullscreen countdown timer. Call on learners fairly, split groups for lab days, and run think-pair-share timers without juggling three separate apps, built for US K–12 classrooms and subs who need obvious controls on day one.

Default wheel options
- Classroom Spinner
Cold-calling in middle school ELA
Teachers paste period-two rosters on the Student picker tab, enable remove-after-pick, and spin so every reader shares analysis before anyone repeats.
PE squads on field day
Coaches switch to the Teams tab, paste 28 names, choose four teams, and send balanced groups to stations in under a minute.
Think-pair-share timing
Open the Timer tab, set three minutes, fullscreen the hub, and students see the countdown.
Substitute teacher plans
Session history on the student picker shows who was already called, so guest teachers continue fair participation without a paper roster.
ESL small-group rotations
Lead teachers spin for table leaders on the student tab, generate teams of four on the Teams tab, and run five-minute speaking drills with the timer.
Getting started
Load the Classroom Spinner with your list, spin once to preview timing, then adjust entries before going live.
Enable remove-after-pick on the Classroom Spinner when each option should win once, and turn on Streamer mode for a chroma-key backdrop on stream recordings.
Project the Classroom Spinner fullscreen on a smartboard or TV so everyone sees the same spin without crowding one phone.
Frequently asked questions
Does this replace the random student picker?
It includes the same student-picker behavior plus team generation and a timer, one bookmark for daily classroom routines.
How does fullscreen classroom mode work?
Tap fullscreen to expand the hub for smartboards. The Student picker and Teams tabs include a spin wheel; the Timer tab is a countdown only.
Can I see who was already picked?
Yes. Session history on the Student picker tab logs each selected student during the period so you can balance participation before the bell.
Is student data stored online?
No. Rosters and history stay in your browser session on that device, nothing is uploaded to our servers.
Does the team maker balance sizes?
Teams shuffle randomly and distribute names round-robin so counts stay within one person even with odd class sizes.
