Clicker 6
Clicker is a powerful yet easy-to-use writing support and multimedia tool that enables children to write with whole words, phrases or pictures
What is Clicker?
Clicker is an onscreen keyboard with speech. Each key (or cell) can hold a letter, word, phrase or picture. When you click on a cell in a Clicker grid, the text and graphic in the cell is sent into the built-in word processor – Clicker Writer. Cells can also speak their text using the built-in software speech, and you can record your own voice directly into a cell!
Do you work with early readers and writers? Do you want to extend your older writers? Do you need to support your struggling writers? Then Clicker is for you.
Children can write with whole words, phrases or pictures by clicking on cells in a ‘grid’. Grids can be linked so that students can move through them in a sequence, offering scaffolding through written tasks, and access to an unlimited number of words or pictures. Reluctant or struggling writers really achieve success as they write in a way that they have never done before.
Words in the grid can be spoken with a right-click, enabling the student to hear a word before writing it. Sentences in the word processor are read aloud automatically as they are completed with a full stop. The child’s writing can be printed out or saved in HTML format, so that school children can publish their work on the school website.
Clicker is also a powerful tool for creating multimedia presentations which can be enhanced with digital photographs, sound and video. For example, children can make simple talking books, produce a multimedia guide to the school or create collaborative onscreen presentations.
Whether you are working in mainstream education or a special needs setting, Clicker is the perfect tool for helping all your students achieve reading and writing success. Clicker enables children to learn and progress within an easy-to-navigate, motivating environment tailored to their individual needs.
Clicker 6 builds on the acclaimed support features of its predecessor. It combines customizable student support tools that empower children to work independently, with intuitive activity wizards that make it easier than ever before for teachers to create and edit Clicker activities.
