    HOW TO USE

    How to use the picker and group maker

    Four modes share one name list: the wheel, no-repeat picks, automatic groups and a presentation-order draw.

    1. Paste your listCopy names straight from Excel, one per line. The list stays on this device for your next class.
    2. Choose the modeThe wheel is for fun in front of the class, no-repeat for questioning everyone once, groups for starting teamwork, order for presentation day.
    3. Spin and project itGo full screen first so the back row can read it. In no-repeat mode, names already drawn are removed from the next round.

    Tips

    • Group mode takes either a number of groups or a group size — pick one.
    • Project the draw so everyone can see it really was random.
    • The list is kept in your browser only; nothing is sent to a server.
    HOW IT WORKS

    Tips for the classroom

    Keep one list per section

    Paste the list from Excel or the registrar once, press the save icon and name it after the course/section. Next time just pick it from the menu. Lists are stored only in this browser.

    Fair randomness

    Every mode uses the browser's cryptographic random generator with a Fisher–Yates shuffle, so each name truly has an equal chance. The wheel and picker drop chosen names until you reset, so everyone gets a turn during the class.

    On the projector

    Use the full-screen button in the corner of each mode: text scales up to be readable from the back row. Press space to spin or pick, Esc to leave. Groups and orders can be copied to LINE/Teams or downloaded as CSV for Excel.
