Boosting Classroom Efficiency: Visual Timers for Student Presentations

As a teacher, managing classroom time is a challenge. Especially during student presentations or group discussions, how do you ensure everyone speaks without running overtime?

Abstract Time vs. Concrete Color

For students (especially younger ones or those with ADHD), "5 minutes left" is a very abstract concept. They struggle to sense the passage of time.

PaceTimer transforms abstract time into concrete color.

Use Cases

1. Student Presentations: Set a 3-minute speech. Green for the first 2 mins (safe); Yellow for the last min (wrap up); Red (stop). Students self-regulate without the teacher constantly interrupting.

2. Group Discussions: Prop an iPad or phone on the desk as a class timer. Everyone sees the color change, creating urgency and efficiency.

3. Special Education: For ADHD students, visual time boundaries provide a stronger sense of structure, reducing anxiety and distraction.

Why PaceTimer?

• Simple & Clear: Massive, minimalist interface visible from the back of the room.
• Silent Alerts: No jarring alarms to break students' train of thought.
• Focus Protection: Provides only necessary info without distracting animations.

Install a "traffic light" for your classroom with PaceTimer and teach with more ease.
