Pick history
Fair classroom picking without a login
This random student picker is built for teachers who need a quick way to choose names for questions, reading turns, classroom games, group activities, and participation checks.
Names stay in the browser during normal use. Share links put an encoded—not encrypted—copy of the list in the URL so it can be reopened on another device. Use initials or aliases, keep classroom links private, and use “Clear saved data” on shared devices when the activity ends.
Useful classroom workflows
- Pick one student for a question or activity.
- Use no-repeat mode so every student gets a turn before the list resets.
- Paste names from a spreadsheet or class register.
- Keep a visible history of recent picks for transparency.

Random Student Picker FAQ
Is this random student picker free?
Yes. It is free to use in the browser and does not require an account.
Can it avoid picking the same student twice?
Yes. No-repeat classroom mode removes each picked student from the active wheel until you reset the list.
Are student names uploaded?
No. Normal picking runs locally in the browser. Share links contain an encoded—not encrypted—copy of the list in the URL, which anyone with the link can read. Use initials or aliases and keep classroom links private.
