Clicker, the educational software program, has been granted Millennium Product status by the Design Council. This confirms its place in the Prime Minister's vision of Britain as the creative powerhouse of the world.

Tony Blair made the announcement in London today at the launch of the final tranche of the Design Council's Millennium Products Initiative.

Clicker, developed by Crick Software, is a powerful writing and multimedia tool. It enables children of all abilities to write with whole words, phrases and pictures. Clicker supports all areas of the curriculum and is particularly powerful for the teaching of literacy.

In step with The National Grid for Learning, Clicker has become widely used in schools across Britain. It is supported with free resources on the Internet and is now exported worldwide.

John Crick, Managing Director said, 'We have always worked in partnership with teachers to make Clicker a product which really works in the classroom. It is totally accessible to all students, including those with physical disabilities. We're delighted that as a Millennium Product, it will be included in the Millennium Dome.'

'I am very pleased that Clicker has been announced as a Millennium Product,' said Andrew Summers, chief executive of the Design Council. 'It will form part of our collection of the most innovative products and services created in Britain for the new millennium.'
