Clicker in the Curriculum
Writing with Clicker - Word Banks (1)
With word bank grids, you use Clicker to present students with only a set of words, letting them type most of their text using the keyboard.
A Clicker Grid can be hidden – so students bring it up only when they need it!
Brainstorm and record relevant vocabulary
Why not compile a word bank with the class? It's easy for you, the teacher, to enter text into a Clicker Grid for any curriculum topic – before the students start to write. This is a great whiteboard activity!
Try printing Clicker Grid word banks – for students to practise reading and writing key vocabulary away from the computer.
Link word banks
Clicking on a cell in the Clicker Grid can take you to another grid, so a word bank can act as a ‘menu’ – simply click on a word to go to another word bank containing relevant vocabulary!
In this example, clicking on 'Church' in the grid on the left takes you to the grid on the right.
