Timer
What is it?
A stopwatch device to keep time.
Where is it found?
Timers are often near the chill zone or found throughout the classroom. A larger, visual timer may be near the “front” of the room. You can also find visual timers online and use the SMART Board.
How do I use it?
You can time student transitions, breakout sessions, teacher talk time, etc. A visual timer can help everyone know how much time is left in a lesson or given activity. If a student needs a break from the group, using a timer can help them take their break, and provides a smooth transition out of the break.
