Teacher Review

In Tic Toc Time, a cute Canadian beaver family guides kids through an exploration of sunlight and shadow to tell time. Kids can also learn about telling time on different clocks. There are six "lessons," each building on the last, and the upper levels within each lesson are locked until kids complete the first game.
 
Kids can learn about the sun's position in the sky (using shadows to estimate the time), how clocks are designed, and how to tell time on analog clocks. The first set of games -- involving the sun and shadows -- is stronger and does a nice job supporting the concept of how we tell time. However, the clock-oriented games could use more explanation and support for kids who may not get it right away. Overall, time is an abstract, nonetheless very real, part of kids' lives, and Tic Toc Time gives them some concrete and unique ways to understand these important concepts.
 
Teachers can use Tic Toc Time for individual play or for learning in small groups. The app gives teachers a great opportunity to talk about using shadows to estimate the time of day.
