What the Spinner App Does

The Spinner is a colourful, floating app that helps teachers choose a random name from a list. It’s ideal for classroom games, deciding turn-taking, assigning tasks—or even settling who’s taking the bins out today!

Teachers can edit the name list directly on the touchscreen or import names via a CSV file. With bright colours and sound effects, it makes even routine classroom activities feel exciting.
