Run timers for sessions. Use the visible time as a reference while you deliver the planned activity.

The problem
A timer is more useful when the whole floor can see it.
During a timed session, an instructor may be explaining the next activity while participants are trying to follow the clock. A visible session timer gives the group a shared reference and gives the instructor another way to communicate the pace of the session.
- Participants relying on repeated spoken time updates.
- A clock that is difficult to see from the training area.
- Different people interpreting the timing of the session differently.
