Visual Timers for your iPad Classroom
Students do not always have a great sense of time and many of my
students over the years have miscalculated the time remaining on a
particular task or assessment piece. This is a skill that they develop
over time but not without some devastating consequences. These visual
timers are exceptionally good for visual learners but work just as well
for all the students in your class. Start to generate better time
management in your class with the use of one or more of these visual
timers.
Visual: $0.99 AU
Visual is a visual countdown timer. Know how long you have left with a
simple glance. With Visual, the passage of time is presented through the
changing of your screen colour. Time remaining is communicated like
traffic lights. Green means lots of time left. Yellow half. And red
means it's time to wrap it up.

VisTimer Free: $1.99 AU
The VisTimer was developed to provide a gentle implementation of time
imposed limits. It utilizes an animated shrinking pie chart to depict
elapsed time. Visual thinkers often have difficulty conceptualizing
time. Being able to see the changing pie chart as time passes makes it
easier to understand time.
