ClassClock

What is ClassClock?

ClassClock is a web app to give students and teachers easy access to:

• current date and time
• daily schedules (You are on the Mon/Tues Schedule)
• the class period you are currently in (i.e. 2nd Period)
• a countdown until class is over
• the generic name of your next class (i.e. 3rd Period)

ClassClock is useful for:

• Teachers - to check how much teaching time is left in class
• Students - to remind themselves of where they need to be and when
• Parents - to see the optimal time to contact their student without interfering with instruction time
• Everyone - to have quick and easy access to varied schedules that may otherwise be complicated, confusing or hard to remember

Upcoming Features

Here are some features to look forward to in a future version:

• Support for multiple schools (currently only supports one)
• Detection of block (A/B) schedules
• Countdown to school breaks (winter break, spriing break, summer .etc)
• Support for custom schedules (assemblies, parades, combined schedules etc.)
• The ability to change what is displayed
• The ability for students to upload their schedules to get more detailed information such as teacher name and room number
