Clock
Update November 2024
With the new countdown setting enabled, you can see how long is left on an alarm that you have set.
Display the Clock widget on your screen to show the time and set alarms to help with time management.
How it works
The Clock widget has three different layouts and by default, shows both analog and digital time. If you decrease the height of the widget, the layout will jump to an analog clock and if you reduce the height even further you only see the digital time.
Via the settings, you can add an alarm which is useful if you want your student to end or start an activity right on time.
Widget Setting
Time format
In the widget settings, you can choose whether you prefer a digital display of a 12-hour (a.m./p.m.) or 24-hour time format. This setting will impact all clock-oriented widgets in your account, meaning there can only be one display type implemented across the application per user, and it will automatically be saved for users with a Basic and Pro account.
Alarms
If you click on the "+ add alarm" button, a window will open where you can select an alarm time and add a description. The description only appears in the setting as a reminder for the teacher. If you want to use this alarm more often, you can add the time to your profile for later use. Users with a Basic and Pro account can save the alarm times to their profile.
Alarm sound
With this feature, you can choose which sound should be played when the alarm time is reached. This setting will automatically be saved for users with a Basic and Pro account.
Countdown
Toggle on this option to display the length of time that remains on the timers that you have set.
Ideas on how to use it
The clock is an essential part of classroom time management. When used with the alarm times, it supports keeping students on task when they might otherwise lose track of time. Likewise, it provides clarity for everyone when the end of an activity is announced.
