This is pretty cool. I would like to have an option though to have various tick marks along the continuum so I’m sure to move it equally each time.

Thanks for the feedback Sonja,

Tick marks now added to the resource – click the ‘Dots’ button to switch them on or off.

Hope this helps,

These resources are amazing! Thank you. I would use the swingometer to monitor classroom noise or to help with music time. Have the students sing softer or louder according to the swingometer.

Great resource. Just would like to share how I use it in my classroom. Set the labels as hotter and colder. Students postion arrows according to how hot or cold someone is at locating the hidden item in a giving directions maths game. Also set labels to register excitment for a plot when reading.
