Clock
The clock widget displays the current time for your class, either as a traditional clock face or in large digital numbers. It updates automatically, so students and teachers can always see the accurate time at a glance.
Teachers use the clock to help students stay aware of time during lessons, transitions, and activities. It works well for time management, scheduling, and building routines in any classroom setting.
