Overview The Learning Resources Time Tracker visual timer uses colored lights (green, yellow, red) with optional sound cues to guide students through activities. This approach supports independent transitions without constant prompts, helping create a calmer, more self-directed learning environment. With a wide 180-degree viewing angle and a large, easy-to-read LCD display, remaining time is visible from anywhere in the classroom, reducing interruptions and confusion during transitions.
