What a way to end the day I know that everyone has their own favorite online tools that they like using. There are so many out there that there are often ones that get forgotten about, or left out because there is not enough time during the day, so I thought that I would highlight some of the ones that are most useful in the classroom and other places.
The first
one I thought I would highlight is an online stopwatch. When I first became a teacher I would use an
egg timer, mini hourglasses, etc. Then
when I thought I was getting really high-tech I used my cell phone. Those are all great, except for the fact that
the students couldn’t really see what was going on. I understand that you may not want the
students to see, but I found the students would be up out of their seat looking
to see how much time was left. So
introducing the online stopwatch http://www.online-stopwatch.com/. Pull it up on the computer, project it to the
front screen and off you go. Not the
most high tech tool out there, but it works and best of all free.
Did you
even know you can by times they come all on a CD , something like $16 for
it. Is that expensive, no, but do I have
better things to spend my money on?
Yes. One of the best parts about
the online stopwatch, it has a variety of times, so you are able to switch it
up for the students. If you have never
used it before you may want to try the bomb timer.
