Tick tick tick...

time timer.JPG

Worried that time is running out for the summer already? Worried that you haven't even had a chance to experience summer yet (except for the swell heat and humidity--we love Central Virginia weather!)--think about getting more familiar with using timers...in life, in the classroom, at the gym...

Time Timers (pictured) are great ways to show ourselves (and our students) the passage of time, in a way that digital and analog clocks generally don't do.

There are a few companies that sell a variety of cool instructional timers that are easy to use, and many can be displayed on a computer screen. Time Timer-brand timers will soon come with audible sounds indicating that time is up--something that used to only be available in the digital version!

Who are the retailers? www.timetimer.com is one, www.trainerswarehouse.com is another (with one CD that offers 13 different versions of a digital timer.
