Wheel Decide

Principal function(s): Poll and survey creators

A free online spinner tool that makes it possible to create your own digital wheels. Educators can use it to pick a random student in class to answer a question or participate in a classroom activity, to spin a wheel of questions, topics, or vocabulary terms or to randomly assign groups or teams. One has to fill the choice boxes, give a name to your wheel and apply the changes. To save a wheel, one has to register with a Facebook account or simply bookmark the URL, and the choices will be saved. Evaluation: When going to wheeldecide.com, click to modify the wheel, add topics, give the wheel a title, and pick advanced options. Choices can be removed after they have been landed on, colour schemes can be changed, seconds to spin, and more. Wheel Decide is great to have students pick topics for presentations and projects. Teachers could also use it to pick topics for review games in class. Another option would be to randomly call on students during class time. Wheel Decide is also very useful for studying vocabulary or even assigning teams. After creating a wheel, teachers can copy the embedded code to their classroom learning management system or website.
