Set Time Limit on Online Activities, Games, Etc.
TIME's UP! is a software utility that lets one set time limits for students' use of online services, programs, etc. Designed for home users but suited to labs and classrooms as well, the program lets an adult set time limits -- daily or weekly -- on use of particular programs. One can block use of online service during certain hours, as well. A hot key lets users see how much of their time allotment has been used; a two-minute warning reminds them of the limit. Usage reports detail the applications each student has accessed. The Fresh Software Co., Coral Gables, FL, (800) TIMES-UP. W
