If you asked my kids how long a minute is they would have two versions. One is how long an actual minute takes and the other is how long Papa thinks a minute lasts. These two are wildly different. Does this sound like you?
I'll tell them that we are leaving in one minute and that could mean thirty seconds or a full five minutes. Same thing happened to me in the classroom, time kinda dissolves into the unknown.
I recently found a Chrome extension that would have helped me better manage classroom time. As a bonus, check out the YouTube timer trick below.
Chrome
Check out the Timer Chrome extension for a super fast timer and easy to use timer.
I set up a five second timer. When time runs out a YouTube video appeared and plays a series of chimes. Pretty cool.
Getting Started
Install the extension.
Install the extension.
1. Click the Apps icon in the upper left corner of Chrome.
2. Click Timer to launch the site.
You can quickly create all types of fast timers.
YouTube
I searched for a five minute timer on YouTube and come up with all kinds of video based timers.
