Liz Briggs, of Hillshott Infant School and Nursery in Letchworth Garden City, Hertfordshire, writes:

"I have been lucky enough to be using Clicker Paint in my classroom and have found it very enjoyable. As ICT co-ordinator for the whole school, I can see that it is going to be a very useful tool for the whole school across all subject areas.

It can be set up by the teacher to be as complex or as simple as is appropriate for each child. It adds a great new dimension to the work we are doing in Clicker and provides a context for the computer generated artwork we have been used to. 

It gives the children more control and therefore more decision making about their own work and this is opening up lots of exciting possibilities. It also enables the teacher to differentiate according to ability which is a great feature in a classroom with many different ability levels.

I can also see that we can make the use of Clicker Paint with the children in the school who are English language learners to help support them in their learning and as an assessment tool.

Alongside all of these great ways in which we can use Clicker Paint, the bonus is that the children love using it! I can’t wait to have it in all our classrooms to enhance and support our children’s learning!"
