Today I am joining many other bloggers to bring you another awesome Bright Idea for your classroom!
Have you heard of the app called Decide Now?
It's a FREE app that you can use in SOOOOOO many ways! You plug in the choices you want, give it a name and presto! You have an instant spinner.
I use this app in a few ways!
I use it to call on students! They love seeing the wheel spin and finding out who gets to be picked!
I also use it for when a student levels up on the Super Improver wall, or when the whole class reaches a certain number on the Scoreboard!
Here is my prize wheel!
I would highly recommend this app to everyone!
If you enjoyed this bright idea, please consider following me on Facebook, Instagram, or TpT for more bright ideas!

Eek, I love this app! Thank you for sharing it! I usually use my "fair sticks" to call on students, but this is a million times more fun. Downloading it now!

I love this app!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea. I don't have an ipad in my class, so I started searching for another option and found this.

Very cool. I might even put a brain break spot or two on a wheel with the students' names. So, so many fun ways to use these! Thanks for the idea!
LOVE this! I wonder if there's a way to set it up on the smartboard??!?!? I definitely will be using this...I like the idea of using it as a whole class reinforcer!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great app!! I too am a fellow WBT junkie! I am your newest follower.

The version that allows you to add students names is not in the free version BUT it's only $.99 for the full version.
ReplyDeleteI wonder why you had to pay for the .99 cents one? I was able to add my names no problem to the free one.

ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the app. I'm sure my 2nd graders will love it!
ReplyDeleteI just tried to upload the app and on the free version (lite) I don't see a way to customize it. Can you only customize a list in the regular version
ReplyDeleteFor those of you who have customized their own wheel, is there a limit on how many wedges you can add? I have classes of 40+ and I want to make sure I can get all of their names on there. TIA!
ReplyDeleteThe version that you could put the names is .99 , the other version has predefined templates..
ReplyDeleteI love this app. I found it earlier this year and was using it as a reward for my 8th graders. I blogged about it too.

The link to download it is no longer available. Is there a way to get it? Thank you!
ReplyDeleteIt's still there:)
ReplyDeleteBoo, it's no longer free! : (
ReplyDeleteDownloaded the free version today, 8/21/2016, and won't let you customize. FYI
ReplyDeletesame here :(
DeleteThat's good to know. I wrote this blog post two years ago and it was free then:( Sorry it's not working any more.
DeleteJust got the app and I absolutely love it! Can't wait to start using it!
ReplyDeleteHello and thank you for sharing your ideas. I would like to know where to go to download the wheel, I don't see a link anywhere.
ReplyDeleteThank you
Hi everyone! I am using this app in my classroom too! It helps me a lot. And I don't see the problem to pay 99 cent to be able to customize the wheels.
ReplyDeleteAs far as I know they have an Android version too (though it looks a little bit different). It is free but again you have to pay to make your own wheels.

This is wonderful, I will download it right now!!! I love using apps to be more efficient as a teacher. :) An app that I LOVE for grading assignments is called Grade Ez. You can quickly compute scores based on the number correct or number incorrect. Saves me so much time and it's so much better than the old school Ez Grader sliding scale! It's available for both Apple and Android devices:

ReplyDeleteMouse sensitivity is the speed of a mouse pointer and how quickly it proceeds onto the screen. With increased sensitivity, the mouse moves quicker and requires less exertion to get across the screen. While on the other hand, with a low mouse sensitivity, a mouse moves relatively slower and needs more exertion to get across the screen. However, it offers better accuracy for users who are not much familiar with the mouse.
