Absolutely brilliant! This is a fantastic idea with easy to follow, step by step instructions. I've been a trainer/facilitator for over 30 years and I had no idea this tool was so easy to make. It will be extremely helpful in the classroom and avoid the impression of playing favorites or "picking on" certain students. I love it! Thank you so much.
Since last week, I have been looking for a random name generator that I can use for my report this week to keep my classmates' attention during the presentation. This is one is the best, if not the best. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks a lot for putting this here! It’s a big help, and you explained it in a way that a viewer can duplicate what you did or make their own because your instructions were clear and complete.
Great video. Just made this for a class of 46 students in Vietnam. Should make choosing someone to answer speaking questions a little more exciting, Thanks!
I am so happy i found this channel last summer. I've learnt so much and created so many new games for my classes this year. Thank you so much for sharing all those wonderful ideas. Keep them coming. Especially during this long summer holiday when we have so much time on our hands to try new things. 🍹🌻😂
Thank you so much for your lovely comment! I am really glad you're finding this channel useful, and I certainly have many more ideas planned to be sharing on here very soon!
This is such a great video - your explanation was clear and easy to follow, you have the perfect voice and speed for instructional videos. Thank you! You also didn't take hours to do it, just the amount of time it actually takes. Looking forward to seeing more from you.
I really appreciate your help with creating the wheel! 🙏🙏🙏 The instructions are the easiest to follow, and I very much admire how you use the tools in Excel. Brilliant!!! 👍👍👍👏👏👏 Many thanks indeed!!!!!!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thank you so much for sharing your great content. You have no idea how much I needed this and how excited I am to start using it. The way you explain on the video is so clear and easy to follow I created my wheel at the first try along with your video. I really appreaciate your work.
Thank you so much. So easy to follow along and make it with you! Probably one of the fastest and easiest tutorials I have found. Will check out your others!
This is a great and easy to create wheel. Thank you for sharing. I've had to watch a few times but I think I have it down now, after making several different wheels for different contests. They are always fun and engaging.
This is a shame that this is how the quality of the channel with quality contents has a bit of subsribera and views. Way to go, and thank you for making me a lot of things learned!!!
Actually if you put equal numbers to all chat parts it will distribute itself the radial space for each segment and they will be equal. So you don't have to do that math, just put 1 to each cell in right column
Fantastic tutorial! I needed a wheel with numbers, so I went ahead and put them in as my category names on the pie chart so that I didn't have to mess with inserting them later. Thank you!
Thank you so much for the help! This video was sooo helpful. I created a spinning wheel for our office and everyone loved it. Appreciate the guidance and support.
That was amazing! Thank you. I tried it first on my Mac and realized that the 2019 version of pp doesn’t allow developer tab so luckily I have a windows computer lying around. Thanks again!
Great video and thank you for sharing this with us. I create a wheel while listening, pausing, listening and it was difficult. Thanks again for the step-by-step tutorial.
You're so kind, and I'm just so glad you're enjoying them. Plenty more on the way! In fact right now I'm recording a video that takes the random name spinner idea I to a whole new dimension - literally! 😁
Thank you! I'm so glad you liked it. I'm actually working on a video at the moment that takes this idea much further - including 3D - so make sure you look out for that!
I loved the way u explained. U explain really well. I made the wheel in the first try. Thank u so much for sharing this. I subscribed and liked ur channel.
Excellant. Thank you just created step by step. The only issue i am trying to resolve a wonky spinner. I have tried stretching my wheel but it doesnt spin as prefectly as yours.
That can happen when you've converted your chart to a group of circles, if you haven't aligned it correctly over the centre point, or if you have inadvertently included an extra line or shape when grouping the segments.
Tried doing this in Neat Office Impress but the animation just starts and stops on the original number. Not random at all. Also it isn't continuous it skips to the next slide.
This was a fantastic tutorial! My only issue is that for some reason when my wheel spins, it spins wobbly. Has anyone else had this issue? I know I did something wrong but I have no idea what. lol
That will probably be because when you grouped the wheel segments you included an extra shape or outline. Try ungrouping the segments and then checking how many shapes were actually selected. If it's more than the number of segments then you know you've got an extra item which could make it spin off centre.
Thank you! Why does it appear that my wheel is spinning in a circular fashion instead of the center of the wheel staying stationery and spinning from the center? I only have 8 wedges.
Works as described - Thank you very much. Just wish it were easier to adapt to different class sizes, etc. The only option I see is to make several wheels as templates and to use the one that fits your needs.
I'm very glad you liked it, and yes, that's what I do. However, I don't make templates for every size. If you have one with a few extra sides, just add in 'wild cards', or surprises. For example, I have one that lets all students earn instant extra credits, and another that lets them have 5 minutes at the end to play games.
Terrific presentation - one comment - if using this stand-alone, it will be useful to set the transition to not advance on a mouse click (because clicking anywhere other than in the circle will cause the presentation to end). This tutorial was EXTREMELY easy to follow! Thank you very much. I have made other spinners in the past but this technique is by far the best!
Thanks for the super helpful and detailed instructions. You mentioned about midway through that you had an idea for how to use the empty spaces on the wheel (if the class isn't full), but then you didn't tell us what that idea was?
Hello Sandra, I'm so glad you like the tutorial. I'm sorry I must have completely forgotten to mention those ideas. One easy idea is to put a sweet or some other treat as a prize for whoever is chosen next, for example. another idea is to have a free life line be available for the next person chosen. Effectively the blank spaces become extra rewards for whoever is chosen next. I hope this helps.
This is fantastic!! I made the wheel, ready to put the names on, but for some reason the wheel doesn't spin. I have the wheel as a group, added animation as spin & appear. To try & find my mistake I have changed the trigger to the arrow,, etc. Nothing. When I click on the wheel all I get is the options of changing names, etc. Trying to figure out what I did wrong.

Excellent. Thank you. Now that I am teaching in Zoom, my students are silent. This is absolutely perfect and easy to follow.
Thanks a lot for putting this here! It’s a big help, and you explained it in a way that a viewer can duplicate what you did or make their own because your instructions were clear and complete.
Just brilliant! So clearly explained so that non-tech people can easily follow. Many thanks!
First tutorial I went through step-by-step and everything worked just as you said (and I love the accent). Thank you.
This is probably the easiest to follow tutorial I have ever tried. Thank you very much!
Great video. Just made this for a class of 46 students in Vietnam. Should make choosing someone to answer speaking questions a little more exciting, Thanks!

Can u please share those games
@@TheTechTrain the name of the student is repeating. I linked a 1st slide to the reset option. Still I am getting the same
AMAZING! Clear and concise instructions that only a complete dunce would not be able to follow! Thank you
This was so helpful! I actually made 3 different spinners on one slide for a math lesson on shape attributes. Thank you!!
Glad it helped!
Oh!!!
clearly presented and well thought out to ensure there is almost no wasted steps!! can't thank you enough !! i watched all the ads hahaha

Thank you so much, that's very kind of you to say. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
You just got me out of a jam..our spin the wheel model broke and this was the next best option...THANK YOU!

I am so upset they took the developer tab from Mac. :( I can't do this
Excellent, thank you for the simple, clear explanation. I am going to try that creating multiple layers for cascade choices
OMG I really enjoyed watching you do this!
Briliant! I have created a 32 piece wheel & shared with colleagues! Thank you

Hello there! Could you tell me how to stop the wheel? It keeps moving round and round. Thank you!
Thank you Alessandra, I'm so glad you liked it.
It's covered in the video Suad.
This tutorial was so useful and so well-presented. Thanks a lot, I came up with a pretty nice wheel :)

I'm not familiar with that package I'm afraid. This was built in Microsoft Office.
