Clockoo

The “Clockoo” game helps students practice setting time on an analog clock by moving the hands of a clock to various times. They also learn the relationship between digital and analog clocks. Students set the clock to a given time by making circular hand movements. They control the hour and/or minute hands. The teacher/therapist has control of whether the student will set the time by moving one or both hands of the clock. By choosing the analog display, the student is asked to recognize the time displayed on an analog clock which appears at the side of the screen. That is the prompt. The student must set that time at the main analog clock by picking and rotating the appropriate hand(s) of the clock. Also, the teacher/therapist can pick out the time interval (Half Hour, Quarterly, etc.) on which the student should work. The student also explores the relationship among digital and analog clocks. There is a “cuckoo” that checks if an answer is right or wrong. The teacher can also activate a timer and lives to make the game more challenging. Are you ready to set the time and hear the cuckoo congratulate you?

Reports

Pie chart data

· This shows statistics of how many times the student gave correct, wrong or no answers and how many times the student tried to find the correct answers

The Time is shown on the top right corner. The teacher can use the time to tell whether the task is challenging enough for the students.

Table data

· This shows the time a student takes to complete a question. The student spent the longest time to complete 05:30 (10.8 s).

This data can reveal certain patterns that the students are struggling with.

· This shows the time per question in details. The time period is shown on the right and the task that the student completed is also displayed. In this case, the student worked on 02:00 and got it correct in 15s.
