Summary

This app is a task planning timer for our 360 Thinking Executive Function clinical model (to learn more www.efpractice.com). The timer shows time to get ready, to do the work and to 'get done' /wrap up the work. You can create time markers to show when to start and what you will need, your midpoint goal and end goal. There is a single tone to indicate get ready, 2 tones to indicate you are at the midpoint and 3 ascending tones to indicate you are at the stop point. As time passes the primary color becomes more translucent to show that time has passed. This allows the individual to look back and reflect on how they used the time they planned to compare planned vs actual use of time. At the start of the allocated time block, a pop up box will display the steps of the task you outlined to occur during this time block. When you are working on the internet you have the option of hiding the clock or showing the clock so that as you work you can be tracking the passage of time and compare actual work to planned time.

User reviews
I LOVE this tool! I am a Special Ed teacher and I encourage the teachers I work with to use this tool. HOWEVER, for some reason when I downloaded the extension onto Chrome, the widget that appears on my browser screen ("SHOW/HIDE button) has migrated up to the middle of my page and obscures content. This is really frustrating. A simple fix would be to make it possible to drag the widget around my screen to where it is not obstructing view. If this fix isn't done soon I will have to remove it, which I don't want to do.

This app appears to be good. It's intended to help you track your progress. I wish the app has sound link to the app, so it will alert the individual with a sound, instead of just having the clock popped up.

Fantastic pairing with the Get Ready, Do, Done model! Can't wait to use it with students in my virtual classroom!
