UbiTimer September Setup Guide
Prepare your PowerPoint timers before the new school year with this short setup guide. UbiTimer helps you add countdowns, lesson timers and presentation timers directly inside PowerPoint.
1. Set up a basic classroom countdown
Start with a simple countdown timer for common classroom routines such as starters, independent practice, quizzes, group tasks and plenaries.
2. Use timers for each lesson stage
A simple structure could be:
- Starter — 5 minutes
- Main explanation — 10 minutes
- Independent practice — 15 minutes
- Review and feedback — 10 minutes
- Exit question — 5 minutes
3. Keep your timer inside PowerPoint
Instead of switching to a phone timer or browser timer, UbiTimer lets you keep the timer inside your presentation so pupils can clearly see the time remaining.
4. When to use Pro Lifetime
UbiTimer Pro Lifetime is useful if you want more control, including advanced timer styles, radial timers, global timers, timer groups, custom styling and presenter-focused tools.
5. For departments and schools
If several staff members need access, UbiTimer also offers team, department and school licences.
