Clicker 5 comes to the US!

We are very excited to announce the release of Clicker 5, which we launched at NECC 2005. This completely rewritten version of Clicker is firmly based on the tried-and-tested interface with which you're familiar, but many aspects are even easier to use. At the same time, we've redesigned the detail of how grids are displayed, giving a new, cleaner look-and-feel that helps children to find the words and pictures they need. Click here for a press release.

We're Expanding!

Our US sales team is expanding - Cameron Beattie has joined the company as our Western Territory Manager, to join our other Regional Territory Managers Deborah Barrows (North East Territory Manager), and Linda Fait (Midwest Territory Manager). Click here for contact details.

Clicker and ClozePro draw crowds at FETC and TCEA!

We had wonderful success at FETC (Florida Education Technology Conference) and TCEA (Texas Computer Education Association conference) this month - people waited up to an hour and a half to get a seat in one of our sessions!

This is the first time many Florida educators saw Clicker and ClozePro and their immediate response was sheer amazement - we heard comments like. "This software is incredible, I don't know how I did not hear of this sooner", and "The impact this will make on my students makes me eager to starting working with it on Monday morning"!

Many FETC and TCEA attendees took advantage of our special show offers, purchasing software licenses on the spot. We often saw people showing off their new software, and returning to our booth with their peers - over and over again!

During the conferences we saw educators from all grade levels, including ESL and special needs. At FETC we had a group of attendees with hearing impairments that brought along their own sign language translator for our session on ClozePro.

Both conferences were a great time for the attendees and ourselves, and we look forward to coming to a conference near you.
