This week’s techie tip is a selection of virtual online timer/stopwatch web resources. These sites can come in handy in the classroom when timing group activities, playing a review game, timing a test or quiz, timing a group discussion or warm-up etc. These are all easy to use and some have the ability to change settings such as color and sound. Beware that some may not work on correctly on the iPad, but will be fully functional on a pc or laptop.
