Review on πŸ’™ Crystal Blue Powers of 2 BCD & Direct Binary Clock: Silver with Blue LEDs by Carlos Massey

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Fun little tool for my class

So we all know that binary code is important in the computing world, right? Who has time to learn binary numbers in a regular math class? None, because it's not "in the standard" of what we should be teaching. But oh my, this little clock is a GREAT conversation piece and an AWESOME tool for teaching Foundation 2 basics. Although I just bought these, they are identical to the ones I've had in class for years. After a few moves, he ended up in the vault and stopped working. These blue flashing lights will get your attention right away! All my students want to be the first to learn Base 2! I intentionally set the clock to a crazy time so it can't be compared to real time. But when class starts, everyone wants to take turns trying to tell the time. (I teach high school math.) All in all, a great learning tool that allows me to enter base 2 without having to review it!

Pros
  • Desk and Shelf Clock
Cons
  • Useless Functions
