Why a Visual Timer Helps in Lessons
A clear visual timer helps students manage time independently and makes classroom transitions more predictable. Because UbiTimer runs inside PowerPoint, teachers can keep the timer on the same slide as the task, instructions or learning objective.
This is especially useful for starter tasks, retrieval practice, independent work, paired discussion, practical activities, revision games and timed student presentations.
