I recently had an elementary teacher ask about timers, so you know us tech guys... we find some technology that may work! Thought I would share this within this posting as well:
Online Timers (Use with your computer and projector)
With the online timers, you can always use the zoom feature in your browser to enlarge them... or the zoom-it tool that starts each time with your computer.
This online timer is like your grandmother's old timer: http://timerrr.com/
Online Egg Timer - http://my.online-eggtimer.
Online Stopwatch is a free website that gives you the choice of a stopwatch function or a countdown function. http://www.online-
The Zoom-it tool is on every computer within our District. This allows you to zoom in on the screen... but also has a built-in timer. This doc should help with that program.
Timer Apps for your iPad (Use with iPad or mirror it to your Apple TV.)
Red Light, Green Light - Free App
Best Sand Timer - Free App
With the iOS 7 update and above, the iPad clock has a timer with a great visual that shows how much time has passed. You can even change the sounds to ringtones or other cool sounds.
There are many other apps... you may have to do a Google search to find the right app for you needs.
