Live action "?" Scene Markers

Really sorry to be asking a live action question here, but this is the only forum I belong to that might know the answer. My younger cousin is making a short film for school, and I thought it would be a cool present to get him one of these:

Problem is, I'm not sure what its called or where I can buy one online. I looked up the phrase "scene marker" and that is how I pulled up the picture. But none of the web results took me to one.

Any help is appreciated. I'm starting to get annoyed.

Thanks. That is a huge help. I'll probably go with the the student one that you showed me.

Thanks again,
