Wheel of Names Tutorial + 5 Ways to Use it in Your Classroom TODAY!

[@SocialStudies401]

I’m ESL Middle School Social Studies teacher and just started my Masters in Teaching English as a Second Language (ESL). I seriously do not know how you do it! I need to learn to be a powerhouse like you and balance teaching with posting videos. I love interacting with teaching amazing teaching community on KZbin. Y’all as INSPIRING 🤩

[@christinawhitmer8446]

Thank you for your time & insights! I’m returning to the classroom after being blessed to stay home with my children & I’m finding your vids so helpful!!

[@russellpalatiere8852]

This is awesome! A digital way to maintain equity in the classroom when classrooms seem to get smaller and smaller due to restrictions! This is definitely being shared to my teacher friends! Your ideas are as always on point!!

[@spaceblaster09]

We've used a similar wheel website in 8th grade science on a couple assignments! One would give students and element that they would have to tell us whether it was a metal, nonmetal, or metalloid but you could also do it where students would draw a model of an atom for that element. We've also done a jigsaw activity with renewable vs nonrenewable resources where each group spins the wheel to get which resource they will research and share. These are great to put as an activity in something like a hyperdoc too!

Holy bagumba!! Who knew wheel of names could do so much?!! Can’t wait to try some of these other uses! Thank you 😊

[@willie9008]

Awesome video the wheel of names will be helpful with my class. Thanks

[@marcelaamunategui9351]

I'm already using it because of you👌 Thanks a lot for these new ideas. 🌻💜

[@leavanechten6752]

This is a fantastic resource! Thank you so much for the detailed explanation of how to set it up and use it. I love the use of two wheels for writing prompts, math problems, and novels. Thanks again.

[@debbiebissell6748]

Michelle - when I first saw the title of this video and the length, I didn’t know how it could possibly be that long. I used the basics of wheel of names at my placement school this semester when teaching virtually, but I had NO idea it could be used for so much more! Thank you for all these wonderful ideas. When student teaching this fall, I will definitely have to try some of them out.

[@tinahugall6291]

Thank you so much! I have been using this ever since you first mentioned it, but had no idea how to customize it.

[@carolinacastro4927]

Thanks a lot Michelle... Great tutorial as always 👌

[@patriciashawwatkins2901]

Thank you Michelle. As usual, I am mesmerized watching your tutorials. Thank you so very much.

[@seacheloyaolopez5443]

I was familiar with Wheel of Names already. (We used during Christmas to raffle the prizes.) But i still love this video because it showed me how i can use it for class! Plus the Add Image option. That's a game changer! Hope you can share more tools like this and Nearpod Time to Climb. FYI you're making us better teachers through your videos ❤️❤️❤️

[@suehall5595]

Love this. I use it for sight word review for my first graders

[@marthawalton2827]

Thank you!! I will be using this with my class!

[@midwestkatie4]

Thanks! I have not found a dice rolling app I really like. This will be perfect!

[@FilipinoLifeCoach]

Your explanation was excellent-clear and concise. Thank you for generously sharing your skills and knowledge with us. You've motivated me to start creating content too. By the way, you look stunning, especially with your glasses on! Amanda from Philippines

[@stevenhayles1089]

Thank you for an excellent video on using this useful tool.

[@amandawilkins8403]

I loved the new ideas for Wheel of Names along with the funny anecdotes throughout the video. I definitely want to try some of the additional uses you mentioned, especially the math facts activity. Thank you!

[@TheGamePlanEduSolutions]

Randomizers are life savers! For the sake of being equitable and not having to keep track with popsicle sticks (because who honestly has time for that this year?!🥴) these are fantastic tips! Thank you for sharing Michelle! 😊

[@bruhfunny6093]

I know it helps me and my friends pick games when we are in deadlock 💀💀💀💀💀💀

[@mrs.julipustaver]

Thank you fro sharing all your great ideas. You are amazing at this. I have used so many of your slides and ideas during this crazy year. You should look into being a college professor for future teachers. Congrats on your new home 🏡❤️

[@kaitlynadrien7040]

Another great video! This will definitely be my summer project

[@hoopsmaster1421]

This is great! I also plan to use this as a sight word practice game! Thank you for always being so thorough and informative

[@mrsfed.4110]

Love wheel of names. I also use it in Virtual PE. I teach music too and was able to add pictures of different music symbols. Great tool.

[@helenasilhankova3458]

Thanks a lot. I love the way you can customize it. It is a pity though, the Wheel of Names does not have the function of splitting students quickly into pair, groups or teams (yes, you can do it, but it takes more time.) For that Flippity, Worwall or Classroomscreen are great - they have wheels of names + other functions, but there are different drawbacks to them compared to Wheels of Names. Apparently you can't have it all :(. Yet I am grateful for so many different tools.

[@grinchy56]

This is the BEST thing I have seen lately. I'm going to use it today with my first graders. I even customized it with a picture of a bee. We are studying bees today. I'm tired of trying to remember who I calked on AND all those hands and angry faces that were selected. You are AWESOME!!!

[@pattidavis8043]

Thanks!

[@acurly3513]

Great video! Looking forward to using the "remove" feature. I've noticed that it always selects the closest name to what was previously picked. ...Thanks for sharing!

[@misconductfiles]

Thank you.

[@TheChroniclesofTeacherTay]

THIS!!!! This is what I’ve been looking for! I was looking up randomizer, etc. My paper slips in a cracked plastic cup get old fast 😂😂😂

[@maryradtke1196]

Great ideas - I am going to try this as we wrap up our school year! Your videos are always so helpful😊

[@karenlaskowskicahlanes7129]

My 3rd graders LOVE wheel of names. In fact, they love it so much, each of them has made their own wheels. LOL

[@jag2333]

Thank you 🥰

[@LifeinGlow]

thank you for the video, some good ideas here :)

[@annadandelion8403]

I'm a kindergarten teacher and during virtual teaching I used wheel of names a lot to play games and exercise (ex. do 3 jumps, walk like a penguin)

[@bankolefunmilayo3538]

Good information . Good videoing. Have done a lesson on how to video and share your screen at the same time? Thanks a lot

[@redneckraconteur]

Teacher got gunz! "Fourth"!...no really. I teach Fourth Grade. Love and use this channel. And your TPT page!

[@JW-co6js]

I made an account via an email. Then I made a wheel and shared it with my nephew so he can use it to play a math game. My question is as follows: If I make an account with a google account instead of an email, can I share the wheel with my newhew and we can take turns spinning the same wheel- the same way you share any other document to collaborate on? Thank you - This is such a fun website.

[@jdavilape]

Wells done, can create a wheel with double entry, select topic and student for example?

[@K.ylaniii]

Yass new upload

[@ewelinak1036]

Thank you. Is there an option to add questions to the name/category on a wheel??

[@ellec.1257]

Poor shy kid is probably getting an anxiety attack from this.

[@caseyhoyt7353]

This is where you could add a group wheel. For example, I have pink, purple, and green chair organizers. So I added a section for each, plus the Zoom logo for my Zoomers. The kids LOVE it!

[@taylor_almond4274]

That was me in kindergarten😂

[@PuffleFuzz]

Mood omg. The first week of school was always so bad omg

[@rendcycle]

If you share the Wheel to several people, is there a way to view and match the result for each Spinner? For example, maybe they can supply their e-mail before they spin so it attaches to the result they got from their spin/s? Also, is there a way to limit the number of spins for a shared Wheel?

[@djthereplay]

Hi! I’m an early elementary major (I’ll be a junior in August but I may have to stay an extra year. I was wondering how early is too early to start collecting things for your classroom? I have started collecting books pre-K-5 since I don’t know my grade level and I may have advanced readers in 3rd. Anyways, I’ve only started buying books. What other things do you recommend?

[@zoie_.gergis]

Can you PLEASE make a video on how you make your KZbin videos. You have already made a video on how to make TEACHING videos.

[@DebraANDBilly]

So if you’re using wheel of names for a raffle & someone buys 4 squares. How do you make sure their name is on that wheel 4 times ?

[@alyssablockdickinson8073]

Where is your shirt from? 🙂

[@terriarmstrong7885]

I have about 400 names on the wheel but I want to check and see if certain people got included on the wheel. Is there a place where I can put their name and it can tell me if they are on the wheel?

[@loomonda18]

Hey Michelle, great video! But also wanted to mention that your banner for your KZbin channel is not you! lol it's another lady, just wanted to let you know!!

[@marthagros3049]

i love you

[@ghazalarohi]

There's been alot of updates since 2021 and you missed the gallery feature, which is not recommended for teachers and more directed to others, and the dark mode looks better now.

[@colleengalway3836]

Can the wheel be embedded into a peardeck or google slide?

[@Angela-zl1ju]

Yes it can! I used this last week to do probability spinners with my class! I just added a little image of a spinner I got from Google next to the questions and then linked the wheels! The kids loved it!!

[@colleengalway3836]

@@Angela-zl1ju thank you! I’m going to try it for tomorrow. We are doing fractions to percentages.

@@colleengalway3836 I know that’s not exactly “embedded” but it worked well for my purpose and was super easy for the kids to access it straight from the lesson.
