Even if I was caught up in an activity and didn’t notice the time passing, the online timer would let us know when time was up. I would assign a task, set the timer to count down, and turn my attention back to my students. Online Stopwatch has over a dozen timers for counting up and counting down, including the countdown timers shown here. I discovered that the built-in Smartboard timer app was a great help, and before long I also discovered a wonderful FREE website with a variety of creative and fun timers. Luckily, my time management skills improved after I had an interactive whiteboard installed in my classroom. I would give my students a simple task, intending to allow 5 minutes before moving on to the next step, and the next thing I knew, 20 minutes had passed. A quick 30-minute activity would often evolve into an hour-long lesson! A big part of the problem was my lack of time management skills. I loved having my students actively engaged in a hands-on lesson, but those types of lessons are very time-consuming. Time management was one of the most difficult aspects of classroom management for me.
