Kid Klok vs Simple Learning Time

Make time telling fun and easy to learn. Your children will love this educational clock because it is fun and the Kid Klok has helped children world-wide to master the art of time telling. The Kid Klok, praised by parents, teachers, and children, segregates the hour and minute components of time and creates a simple visual link between the clock numbers and the clock hands through size and color. This eliminates the confusion and frustration young students experience while learning and using analog time. This Kid Klok gives the current analog and digital time on the same screen so your child will always know the time. To Play a new Time, touch and drag the hands on the Kid Klok. The Digital Time also changes as the hands are moved. The analog time can also be set by changing the digital time. Touch the hour or minutes on the Digital Time to show a Time Wheel. Move the Time Wheel and the analog time changes. The time can be spoken at any time when the Speaker Icon is touched. If your child or student is just beginning, a suggestion is to begin with Kid Klok Easy, which makes the Kid Klok easier by keeping the hour hand on the exact hour number as the minutes change. The hour hand jumps to the next hour when the next hour is reached. In addition, the minute jumps in 5 minute steps so that the clock’s two hands are pointing exactly to the hour and minute numbers to read. Thus, the child can read the Kid Klok Easy in the same way he or she reads the digital display of time. This facilitates the transition to the normal Kid Klok that moves the hour and minute hands in the same manner as everyday clocks. The Kid Klok was invented and patented by Dr. Dom Massaro, patent number 4885731. This application was programmed by McLean Taylor.

Simple Learning Time is a supplementary tool that can be used to teach a student how to tell the time under the guidance of a teacher or parent. ##Feature List * Interactive hour and minute pointers. * Hour pointer is updated in real-time as minutes change. * Digital time that updates in real-time as changes are made on the analogue clock. * 12 hour/24 hour clock toggle * Toggle visibility of digital time * Set the in-app time to the current device time * Set the in-app time to a random time * Start a self-test that sets the digital time to a new random time and prompts you to change the analogue time to correspond with the digital time. * In-app help feature that describes each button's function in the app Ideas for Use Example 1: Teaching students what an analogue clock is and all its components e.g. hour hand, minute hand, face of the clock, minute intervals, counting in 5’s. Example 2: Hide the digital display and select the random time button. Allow the students to enter the time in their workbooks, by drawing it in analogue format and writing it in digital format. Example 3: Give an analogue time to the learners, and ask them to do the following on their iPads. an hour before/after a half hour before/after 15 minutes earlier/later This can be done is various class formats (small groups or whole class) Example 4: Learners can take screen shots of various times, and create an eBook for other learners on “How to Tell the Time”. Example 5: Understand the difference between the 24hr and 12hr clock, by moving the analogue clock to a time in the afternoon in 12hr mode, then asking the students to write/say what it will be in 24hr mode. Learners can then check their answers by switching into the 24 hour mode. Example 6: Numeracy - Adding and subtracting hours and minutes to arrive at a time. This can be done to various levels. 1. Start at 3:30 am 2. Add 30 minutes 3. Subtract 10 minutes 4. What is the time now?
