From creating groups to choosing a line leader to establishing the order of presenters there are plenty of times that a random name picker can be helpful in your classroom. I’ve tried dozens of them over the years. In this new video I highlight my five favorite name pickers, how they work, and what I like about each of them.
In the video you will see me demonstrate the following random name picker tools:
- Wheel of Names
- SpinnerWheel
- Flippity
- Name Picker Ninja
- Classroom Screen
SpinnerWheel lets you place multiple spinners on the same screen and spin them at the same time. By doing that you can create a random group picker, generate randomized writing prompts, randomly generate math problems, and even create random quiz game questions. You can use SpinnerWheel without creating an account on the site. However, if you do create a free account on SpinnerWheel you will be able to save your spinners to use whenever you like an as often as you like.
