Workarounds Described

• uses labels on the clock to help students remember different times
• discusses time while referring to the clock constantly throughout the year

Implied Software Gaps

• Spaced repetition software for analog clock reading that adapts to individual retention rates and tracks progress over time

TimeTeach: Analog Clock Retention App

TimeTeach is a gamified, adaptive mobile app designed to help special education students learn and retain analog clock reading through daily micro-practice sessions. Using spaced repetition and visual/audio cues, the app reinforces time-telling skills in short, engaging exercises that students can do independently. Unlike traditional worksheets or classroom instruction, TimeTeach personalizes practice based on each student's progress and provides teachers with analytics on retention gaps.
