I don’t really use automatic countdown timers that display how many minutes and seconds are left until the end of a class activity. I find that just telling students what time an activity will end (we have a clock on the wall) and then demonstrating some flexibility works well for me, plus I typically want to keep the document camera and computer project available for teachable moments and displaying student work. However, I know some teachers whom I respect really like them.
So, I decided to quickly put together a “The Best….” list of them.
Here are my choices for The Best Online “Countdown” Timers:

May I also recommend http://www.ipadstopwatch.com/timer.html it has a very large display so it can be seen from far away. It’s very easy to use, and it even works on devices like the iPad.

These are all timers that you use in presentations.
Is there a website where you make an account and set few timers of days, months or years. Go away and can log in to see your time tabs?
