Yes – you heard right - Clicker 6 is soon to be released here in Australia! I have been fortunate enough to get my hands on a copy to have a play and I can tell you – it is fabulous!

Clicker 6 builds on the acclaimed support features of its predecessor. Basically it’s new features mean more student independence and less teacher time required! And who wouldn’t want that!?!

Want a sneak peek? Well I have recorded this very short video highlighting some of my favourite things with the new and improved Clicker 6, including:

• Quick Start Screen: means the student is able to start working straight away and can access their favourites list, the word processor and recent activities directly from this intuitive start up screen.
• Click and Edit Books: Enables students to independently create their own talking books and presentations!
• Enhanced Picture Support: There are now over 2500 pictures, Clicker Paint is now fully integrated into the program and webcam support is available to quickly and easily import photos into your Clicker documents.
• Clicker Wizards: Follow the step-by-step instructions to quickly create personalised reading, writing, matching, labelling, speaking and listening activities. Now what used to take you hours of programming can take seconds – literally!
• Immediate Access to Learning Grids: No need to login, access hundreds of free resources instantly from within Clicker! This is SUCH A GOOD IDEA!

Whether you are working in mainstream education or a special needs setting, Clicker 6 is the perfect tool for helping all your students achieve reading and writing success. Check it out! We’d love to hear your feedback.
