Quick answer

What does Classroom Student Picker do?

Classroom Student Picker chooses a student, creates groups or produces a presentation order without uploading the roster. Once-per-cycle mode keeps a temporary remaining list for the current page session so every listed student can be reached before a reset.

Roster processing: In this browser
Cycle mode: One selection per student
Group output: Near-equal round-robin groups
Presentation mode: Large text and full screen

About this tool

Why use Classroom Student Picker?

Support equitable participation without sending student names to the server. The once-per-cycle mode keeps a local remaining list so every learner can be called before the cycle resets; classroom mode enlarges the result and reduces distractions.

How to use it

Enter student display names or initials.
Choose once-per-cycle and reduced-motion preferences.
Pick the next student, make groups or create an order.
Reset the cycle whenever the roster changes.

Common use cases

Choose a respondent
Set presentation order
Create activity groups

Practical examples

Choose the next willing respondent without repeats.
Create four activity groups from a 26-student roster.
Generate a complete presentation order for the class agenda.

How it works

Random values come from window.crypto.getRandomValues(). Lists are shuffled with an unbiased Fisher–Yates process. For a wheel, the result is chosen before the animation; for weighted entries, each positive weight defines its share of the total probability.

Limits to understand

Use initials when full names are unnecessary.
A page refresh resets the in-memory selection cycle.
Teachers should apply learning and accessibility accommodations.

Privacy
