New Idea to Help Teachers with Classroom Management

by Tim

Sep 1, 2017

This is my 40th year of teaching. Let me share with you my creation for helping with class management.

I was forever getting surprised by the bell. You know what I mean...you've lost track of time and the bell rings. I've created a program to run on a Windows pc that keeps track of the time for me. It has a large digital clock and right below it, the number of minutes left in the period. Depending on your teaching method, you can set it up to play a tune (alarm) with 1, 2, or 3 minutes before the bell. I have my clock play the alarm with 1 minute left. My class rule: with 1 minute left, students may pack up and stand next to their seats until I dismiss them. Some of the many teachers on my campus using The Clock give them a bit more time. It's totally up to the teacher.

I've been using The clock since around 1990. Other teachers have given me ideas to add features to the program:
