Time Timer Applications
|
||
In a teaching situation, no other tool
communicates the concept of elapsed time as well as the Time Timer. Used
as an interactive teaching tool, this classroom-tested teaching aid
reinforces the sense of elapsed time with a graphic depiction of the
time remaining. Other teaching aids emphasize only what time looks like
as a static number or a position on a clock face. The Time Timer can be
used to set time limits, measure the duration of activities and train
students to make better use of available time. Use the Time Timer
products to: • Time standardized tests • Monitor math and writing speed tests • Measure study periods and lunch periods • Regulate computer time • Administer duration drills • Show time left to play, get ready or clean up |

In the workplace and at home, time
management is crucial. Being on time, meeting deadlines and maximizing
accomplishments are all functions of good time management. The Time
Timer products help make the passage of time obvious and tangible
whether you are in a group or individual situation. Applications in the
office and at home include instances when you want to set a time limit
for an activity and when you want to measure progress against time. For
example, Time Timers can be used to: • Time seminars, meetings, panel discussions and presentations • Quantify time left before appointments and deadlines • Monitor break time • Manage progress toward goals and agenda items • Oversee skills tests • Regulate study time, computer time and play time • Measure "time out" |

The Time Timer provides the ability to judge
how much time is left without having to know how to tell time. The
products operate with high color resolution, large dial numbers, and
ultra-quiet quartz movement. These additional features make the Time
Timer product line perfect for special needs applications such as
students with ADD, ADHD, autism, etc.; counseling situations;
occupational and physical therapy sessions; stroke and brain injury
rehabilitation; and geriatric care. Trainers and special education teachers have proven that Time Timer products work in both individual and group situations. With the Time Timer, users understand the passage of time and can monitor their own activities, improving their self-esteem. Better time awareness also relieves the stress and anxiety of disorientation. Special needs uses include: • Timing counseling sessions and exercises • Self-monitoring of activities • Overseeing speech, hearing and vision therapies • Memory prompting for medications, appointments, etc. |
