Industry Reactions
Educators invited to an exclusive Clicker 6 preview day were wowed by what the new program had to offer:
“I am really excited about this…Clicker 6 allows the students to be in control and feel safe by including a multi-sensory approach to learning.” Ros Henshaw, Teacher
“I really like the look of these [activity] wizards; they are incredibly straightforward to use and will be a great help to many teachers.” Tracey Bradshaw, Special Needs Advisor
The company has also been trialing the new software at a number of schools in the run up to ATIA Orlando, and has received some fantastic feedback. Take a look below at how educators are already using Clicker 6 in their classrooms!
“My second graders used Clicker to create a talking book about a recent school trip. Clicker 6’s new Click & Edit feature made it so easy for the children to add their own text and photographs, and the word bank I created meant every student was able to write exactly what they wanted to.”
“Clicker 6 really helps children to approach their learning objectives creatively. My fourth graders used the built-in webcam support to take their own photograph, and then used the Clicker painting tools to transform themselves into pirates! Next, they wrote some text for a wanted poster beneath their pictures, supported by the word predictor and powerful adjectives word bank I created using the word bank wizard. The finished pieces were fantastic!”
