Luckspoke

Classroom name picker

Call on students fairly. Each name comes off the wheel once it’s picked, so everyone gets a turn before anyone goes twice.

Click the wheel, flick it with a drag, or press Space

Using it in class

  1. Paste your roster from your gradebook or a spreadsheet. Numbering and extra columns are cleaned up automatically.
  2. Rename the wheel for the class period, and add another wheel with the + button for each of your other classes.
  3. Put it on the board in full screen and press the space bar to spin.

Ideas beyond calling on students

  • Pick the order for presentations, then copy the order from the Results tab.
  • Split the class into groups with the Teams tab.
  • Make a wheel of review questions or vocabulary words and spin for each one.

Questions

Will the same student get picked twice?

Not on this page. “Remove winner automatically” starts switched on, so each student leaves the wheel once they’re called. When the wheel is empty, press “Put them back” to start a new round.

Is it safe to type student names?

Yes. Names are stored only in the browser on your computer. Luckspoke has no accounts and no server that receives your lists, and there are no ads or trackers.

Can I keep a wheel for each class?

Yes. Use the + button above the wheel to make one wheel per class period, and switch between them from the menu. Each keeps its own roster and history.

How do I show it on the board?

Press the full screen button above the wheel. The wheel fills the screen, and you can spin with the space bar from across the room using a wireless keyboard or clicker.
