Teaching, learning, reading, writing, culture, literature, classroom management, new technologies, health... anything related to education. Think and Dream in English (plus some Spanish and Catalan).
"Homework timers can be the perfect time management tool for students who tend to get distracted from their studies. And there's a timer design for just about everyone! You'll find timers in crazy shapes and designs and others that shake, vibrate, beep, flash, and ring. There are selections for the hearing impaired and a few for those who like loud noises!
Why do timers work? Timers tend to improve a student's ability to stay on track. Students gain a better concept of time passage as they see or hear the clock ticking away. Which timer fits your personality?"
