Visible routines
How do I use a visual timer in the classroom?
Choose a preset, start the countdown, and project the classroom timer in fullscreen where every student can see it. State what should be finished before the timer ends, then let the shrinking progress bar communicate the remaining time without repeated reminders.
A visual timer is especially useful for entry tasks, independent work, group rotations, cleanup, and transitions. Short, predictable timings help students learn the routine.
Quiet countdowns
Can I run a classroom countdown without sound?
This timer is intentionally quiet, making it suitable for reading, exams, and calm work periods. Keep the browser tab visible, prevent the device from sleeping, and use Space to pause or resume without opening the controls.
For accessibility, give a spoken or written warning before the final minute instead of relying only on color or motion. The classroom display combines the timer with a written instruction when students need both.
