Read the full description
Random Student Picker kills the "who answers?" problem in class. Paste your class list, spin a full-screen wheel, and the student is picked in front of everyone. No sign-up or app — the roster never leaves the browser (localStorage only), so student data stays safe. Under the hood: a Fisher-Yates shuffle with an equal slice per name, so every student gets a fair shot. It's grown into a family of free classroom tools (groups, pairs, seating charts, white elephant, secret santa) in 10 languages.
