How to use
- Align slices with your physical layout—table pods, lab stations, or reading corners.

- Keep at least two slices representing viable picks so probability lessons stay honest.
- Snapshot Recent Results when administrators request participation equity notes.
- Between classes, clear history if earlier spins might confuse incoming sections.
FAQ
What is a classroom wheel?
It is a lucky wheel tuned for instructional contexts—tables, helpers, presenters—so fairness feels transparent to students watching the board.
Does it sync rosters?
No automatic roster import exists; paste initials or group labels manually according to privacy guidance.
Can I spin multiple roles per day?
Yes—reuse Manage Items lists or duplicate wheels mentally by adjusting slices between periods.
Is student data uploaded?
No cloud storage—labels remain inside your browser session consistent with other hub pages.
Classroom wheel fairness
A classroom wheel teaches procedural justice early: young learners watch arcs, hear clicks, and internalize that participation rotates instead of clinging to favorites—assuming educators rotate presets thoughtfully.
What is a classroom wheel?
Mechanically identical to every hub variant—Manage Items, Spin Wheel, Recent Results—but preset vocabulary emphasizes instructional choreography rather than merchandising.
Teachers rely on it when microphones, timers, or empathy circles need neutral referees without slowing momentum.
Key features
- Table-group presets illustrating how to label pods consistently across semesters.
- Teacher-choice slices reserving intentional discretion alongside random arcs.
- Touch-friendly UI usable on mounted classroom displays or passing tablets.
- Offline spins once assets load—critical when district Wi‑Fi flickers.
Common use cases
- Selecting science lab safety captains each experiment cycle.
- Rotating presentation order during debates so dominant voices rest occasionally.
- Assigning gallery walk starting corners during arts integration weeks.
Best practices
- Pair spins with explicit learning objectives so students understand pedagogy, not just spectacle.
- Avoid embarrassing shy learners—offer opt-in volunteer slices before forcing exposure spins.
- Reflect aloud after spins to connect probability vocabulary with lived outcomes.
- Coordinate with IEP accommodations when random picks might conflict with documented supports.
