It graphically represents the remaining time, usually in the form of a shrinking disc or circle.<\/p>\n<p>The difference seems trivial. It is not. A CP student, an allophone student or a ULIS student does not need to know how to read the time to understand that there is \u2018about half\u2019 left. The information passes at a glance, without mental calculation, without having to lift your head every 30 seconds.<\/p>\n<p>This is also what makes these timers useful for students who need concrete time frames. Time becomes an object that is diminished rather than an abstraction.<\/p>\n<p>In this selection, three tools play this card: TuxTimer with its graduated dial, the School Teachers Timer with its circle and bar, and the Gynzy Timer with its colorful dial.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Time_Timer_en_ligne_le_principe_et_les_alternatives_gratuites\"><\/span>Time Timer online: the principle and free alternatives<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Time Timer is originally a physical object, a clock whose red disk disappears as time passes. It has been used for a long time in the classroom, in ULIS and with students who need to visualise the durations. It is a brand, and the material has a price.<\/p>\n<p>If what you are looking for is the principle and not the object, several tools on this page do the same work for free and project themselves onto the board, which is even an advantage over the full-class physical version.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.professeurs-des-ecoles.com\/time-timer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Interactive Time Timer of School Teachers<\/a> is the closest declination: shrinking circle, progress bar, colour change, full screen. <a href=\"https:\/\/educajou.forge.apps.education.fr\/tuxtimer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TuxTimer<\/a> offers a free variant with a graduated dial.<\/p>\n<p>Two free tools, two answers with the same intention. No need to buy anything to test the principle with your students.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Trois_facons_de_chronometrer_une_seance\"><\/span>Three Ways to Time a Session<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A timer is useless if you don't know what to do with it. Here are three uses that work, tested and widespread.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Le_rituel_dentree_de_5_minutes\"><\/span>The 5-minute entry ritual<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The timer is launched as soon as the students enter. Five minutes to get out of business, write down homework and start the hospitality activity. The countdown is displayed, no one needs to recall the deposit.<\/p>\n<p>The effect is clear after two weeks: The ritual is set up on its own, because time is visible and the same for everyone.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Le_travail_de_groupe_de_15_minutes\"><\/span>The 15-minute group work<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Each group has fifteen minutes, displayed on the table. Students adjust their pace without you having to move around to say you need to speed up.<\/p>\n<p>This is where the timer combines well with a <a href=\"https:\/\/outilstice.com\/2019\/01\/3-mesureurs-bruit-pour-la-classe\/\" target=\"_blank\">sound level meter for the class<\/a> : Time and sound levels are the two parameters that students can regulate themselves, provided they make them visible.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"La_mise_en_autonomie\"><\/span>Self-reliance<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Work plan, workshops, individual exercises. Students know how long they have before pooling, and can decide the order in which they handle tasks.<\/p>\n<p>This is the context where the visual timer makes sense, because students consult the remaining time much more often than in directed work.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Minuteur_sans_son_penser_aux_eleves_sensibles_au_bruit\"><\/span>Timer without sound: think of students who are sensitive to noise<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>A point often forgotten.<\/strong> End ringing is not always desirable. For a student who is hypersensitive to noise, for an autistic student, or simply in a room where three activities take place in parallel, the alarm adds a sound attack where the visual cue was sufficient.<\/p>\n<p>Good news: The seven tools in this selection allow you to disable or customize the audible signal. Good practice is simple. Turn off the alarm and let the colour change or empty circle signal the end. Students look at the screen anyway.<\/p>\n<p>Beware also of the opposite effect of the timer itself. Seeing time pass reassures some students and in anguish others. Presenting the tool clearly, explaining what it is used for and agreeing to pause it when the situation warrants it avoids making it an instrument of pressure.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Alors_lequel_choisir\"><\/span>So which one to choose?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you want the fastest, take MinuteurEnLigne.com and set the links by duration to favorites.<\/p>\n<p>If you teach in kindergarten or elementary school and your students do not yet read the time, TuxTimer or the Time Timer of School Teachers.<\/p>\n<p>If your network is capricious, TuxTimer, the only one that really works without a connection.<\/p>\n<p>If the data issue is a topic in your institution, La Digitale.<\/p>\n<p>And if you monitor assessments with third-time students, Jean-Yves\u2019 timer has no equivalent.<\/p>\n<p>None of these tools require more than two minutes to be tested. It is probably the best ratio of time invested to profit in class in the entire category of utilities.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Need to display a countdown to the table during an activity?
