button, you can pause and restart the timer at any time.\u00a0 To set a countdown timer, just set the time you would like the timer to countdown from and click the start button.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px;

Each time you line up you can try to beat the previous time.\u00a0 I add 10 seconds if someone is talking.\u00a0 This is also a great way to make tasks manageable for students who struggle with focus. <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">If they can see a visual of how much time is left with one activity it is much easier for them to continue through to the next activity.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px;

line-height: 20px;\">Tips: <\/span>If you have a student who has trouble staying on task, put them next to a classroom computer with their own timer or countdown clock.\u00a0 This way you can set it for shorter intervals for that student.\u00a0 Each time they have made it to the count down they can stand up and stretch before beginning the next activity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Leave a comment and tell us how you are using Simple Timer in your classroom.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!--adsense--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What it is: Simple Timer is just what you would expect based on the name, a simple timer (imagine that).\u00a0 The timer can be projected or used with an interactive whiteboard during classroom activities or work time.\u00a0 There is a timer and a count down feature.\u00a0 To time an even just click the &#8216;start&#8217;
