This is a collection of visual time-keeping tools for all sorts of purposes.
This concept initially started out as a timer for students in public speaking courses, and has developed in to even more. These timers are great for a variety of purposes. You can use them for presentations, speeches, or even for tracking timed tasks. For example, maybe you're giving a quiz, and students have 10 minutes to complete it. You could use the color timer as a gradual, easy way for students to understand their timing without adding the extra stress of a ticking clock or glaring numbers.
I have personally conducted research about the color-timer method in my own classroom, which you can read about in more depth below.
Thanks for taking the time to check out this work. I hope you find something you can use!
Sincerely,

Select any one of the color/visual timers below for your own use!
We know there are many many possibilities for timers out there, and we would love to hear your ideas! I am interested in developing as many different timers as we can so that all types of learners, speakers, and students can benefit from the work. Or if you're a developer and you want to build your own, I would love to host it here for others to use (with credit and links to you of course!).
