Time Timer Plus

Visual timers transform stressful transition periods, reduce resistance to routines, and help manage a class or therapy session. Time Timer displays the passage of time with a disappearing blue disk providing stress-free time management to make every moment count. This is a powerful tool for visual thinkers of all ages and abilities.

Time Timer Plus offers a greater visual impact for short and long duration needs such as checking homework, conducting science experiments, completing a group project, and blocking time for long duration activities. There is a world of difference between looking at a clock and being able to say that it is 3 o’clock and understanding “how long” 5 minutes is. For those who learn differently, this type of abstract thinking is even more difficult and often creates a high level of anxiety. A visual timer provides the opportunity to focus, especially in challenging and chaotic learning environments. No ticking, no distractions, no set up required. Optional audible signal can be used to indicate when time is up.

Uses:

• Teach the concept of time and learn to visualize time as a measurement.
• Manage activities and reduce stress of transitions.
• Ease testing anxiety as students can see at a glance how much time is left.
• Sharpen concentration when students try to finish “before the red is gone”.
• Avoid confrontations over shared resources.
• Keep meetings on schedule.
• Coordinate practice time and game breaks.
