Time Timer(R) - 20 Minutes

I use this timer in my classroom when I want to give students a specified amount of time to solve a set of problems or complete part of a lab. This has helped with classroom management and keeping students accountable for doing their work.I like that it doesn't make any sounds until it goes off - no annoying ticking. I also like that you don't have to turn it off - the alarm lasts for about 5 seconds, and then it stops. In theory, my students could use the visual timer aspect, but they don't seem to do so. Perhaps that element is more helpful with younger students; mine are in junior high. It helps me see how much time is left, however. I also like that it is not a 60 minute timer. I never assign a task that takes 60 minutes without breaking it into smaller pieces. This timer allows 5 minute increments to be clearly shown, and I even use it for 1-2 minute "turn and talk" activities.The only real complaint is that some of my students like to sneak up and turn on the timer so it goes off at random times. That's not really a problem of the timer however. And there is a volume knob on the back; if I set it to 0 when I'm not using the timer, these student pranks have no effect.

Was recommended by our child psychologist for our 4 year old who is having some behaviour issues. Works great for him, also works great for the 2/6/7 year olds. Having a visual timer works amazing for many reasons. Wish we had this 5 years ago!!

Der Preis ist sicherlich hoch angesetzt, aber dafür ist die Uhr auch sehr praktisch und zuverlässig.

Der Time Timer hat meinem Kind sehr gefallen und uns gut geholfen, Situationen besser zu meistern.Ich bin leider sehr enttäuscht, dass er nach nur wenig mehr als zwei Jahren nun kaputt ist. Ich fand den Preis eh sehr hoch, aber dann hätte ich zumindest erwartet, dass das Ding Jahre läuft und keinen Ärger macht... Schade.

Works great!
