Using the timer in class
- Open pinkoa.com on the classroom screen or projector.
- Press F11 (or Ctrl+Cmd+F on a Mac) for full screen.
- Set 25 minutes focus and 5 minutes break (or 15/3 for younger classes).
- Start. Koa studies with the class and naps during the break.
Ideas for lessons
- Silent reading or practice: 2 rounds of 25/5 in a double lesson.
- Exam revision weeks: students plan their blocks on the weekly tracker.
- Homework club: one shared round, then a 5-minute movement break.
- Younger classes: start with 10 or 15 minutes and build up.
