On-line guide to Tomorrow's World Live 2000

Earl’s Court, 28th June – 2nd July 2000

Crick Software are creating an on-line guide to Tomorrow’s World Live, the UK’s foremost show for innovation, running this week at Earl’s Court in London. This follows the company’s successful participation in last year’s show.

Using the latest, internet-friendly version of Clicker, visitors of all ages and abilities are able to contribute their comments on the show using text and photographs. Contributions will be continuously uploaded onto Crick Software’s website at www.cricksoft.com, creating a day-by-day commentary on-line.

Clicker has won numerous awards and been given Millennium Product status by the Design Council. Based on a flexible grid system, the program is easy to use and allows students to write with the click of a mouse, using whole words, phrases and pictures. Everything is supported with speech. For those unable to use a mouse, the software is fully accessible through switch presses, making it totally inclusive for all.

“We believe in encouraging success in writing,” said John Crick, director. “Using the latest technology as a tool is a great incentive to today’s young learners to succeed.” The newest version of the program, Clicker 4, runs in html format. This means that children using the software can email their documents instantly or publish them on the web. The inclusion of multimedia features, like the facility to create instant talking books or interactive pictures with music and video, make it a ground breaking tool for the raising of standards in schools.

Crick Software’s own website offers continually updated support for teachers in the classroom. A huge and expanding bank of add-on resources is available free to users of the software. Clicker Grids for Learning can be accessed at www.clickergrids.com, encouraging the use of the Internet for sharing and support in education.

Tomorrow’s World visitors can find Clicker in the Literacy Area of the DfEE Learning Curve where they can have hands-on experience of this innovative software and contribute to the on-line guide.
