Sarah Ward believes that the concept of time is often lost in youth, especially in this digital age. She has developed an Analog clock in order for individuals to see time as a volume. Teachers may scribble of the glass of the analog clock to indicate the “chunk” of work time provided. By implementing this foresight, the “real marker” scribble, may scaffold to a non-existent “mental marker” on the analog clock.
Classroom placement is important, as it has the possibility to develop insight, foresight, and hindsight. Classsroom ‘zones’ for particular activities, as well as the type of materials in each zone, help students compartmentalize their surrounding environment and begin the activity (which the area they are situated prompts) much faster when in a zone. Students often create a habit of leaving projects unfinished, and this method encourages students to only handle their tasks once. Once a project is fully finished and in the correct place, there is no need to go back to it a second time. Including visual prompts into our workplace allows the environment to provide gentle memory triggers, instead of the teacher having to repeat themselves.
