This is especially true thanks to the Timer’s visualization aspect - the digits are big and bold, so if they’re projected onto a screen or shared on mobile devices, they make it easy for students to keep in the corner of their eyes and to reference if needed. One of the most valuable and immediate benefits that the Timer can provide is focus: when students are only given a certain amount of time to complete a task, a simple time constraint can minimize procrastination and distractions. The beauty of the Toolkit Timer is that its features can provide a wide range of benefits beyond just keeping track of time! Benefits The Toolkit Timer may be simple, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t a few bells and whistles! For example, when your countdown is complete, you can program the Timer to set off an alarm that will let your students know it’s time to draw their attention back to the center of the class. Both options allow you to pause or reset the Timer if necessary. You can achieve the first by clicking “Start,” which will prompt the Timer to begin counting up seconds, and you’ll be on your way! The other option is to click “Countdown,” and then select the amount of time you would like to allot. From there, you have two options: counting up or counting down. You can access the Timer from the top of the main ClassDojo page, next to the clock icon. It really helps students (and me!) stay focused and keeps transitions quick." Features "We use Timer for just about everything in class. Use Timer (and buy an herb plant) and you’ll never run out of “thyme” again. Simply select the increment of time and the countdown will be projected in front of your students. We had olive oil, salt, pepper, but at the last minute we realized we had run out of thyme! Bad jokes aside, the Toolkit Timer will keep your class ontrack and conscious of the remaining activity time.
