Clicker is an award-winning writing solution, providing every student with tailored support. Based on the principles of Universal Design for Learning, Clicker offers multiple ways for students to engage with and respond to their learning. It easily accommodates a range of learning styles which maximizes the potential for student involvement. All aspects of Clicker are flexible, offering different levels of support through speech feedback, the use of sounds and images, and scaffolded writing support.

Whether you are working with emergent or reluctant readers and writers, children with specific learning needs, or English learners, Clicker provides the ideal learning environment to ensure access to the curriculum and accelerate student progress. Clicker and Clicker Apps include a variety of innovative writing tools that work across a range of platforms - Chromebooks, iPads, and desktop computers. They are also switch, eye gaze, and touch screen friendly, ensuring that students of all abilities can develop their literacy skills regardless of access method.

Clicker’s innovative tools are brought to life with Clicker activities from LearningGrids – an ever-expanding bank of ready-made resources freely available to all Clicker users. LearningGrids covers a wide range of subject areas and curriculum topics and includes resources for a range of ability levels. All Clicker Sets from LearningGrids can be edited and personalized to match students’ needs.

The true magic of Clicker was captured when a student, who had been struggling in school and had refused to do anything that involved reading and writing, was introduced to Clicker. “It's like they (Crick Software) got in my head and knew why I hated reading and writing so much, like I was drowning in all this stuff that didn't make any sense and they knew just what to do to help me.”

As a result of this session, participants will be able to:
  • Describe three multimedia features of Clicker and Clicker Apps that support the diverse learning needs and inclusion of students in general education classrooms.
  • Identify three ways that Clicker resources can be customized to support emerging and intermediate writers.
  • Name two curriculum resources or topics on LearningGrids that match the needs of their students.
