Clicker in Your Classroom

Introduction

Clicker lets you create your own talking books quickly and easily. Use pictures, sounds, text, and videos in full-screen grids to create resources relevant to any teaching topic! Talking books provide an opportunity for learners to recall and share facts or events in an exciting way, making the most of Clicker’s multimedia features.

Listen to the complete contents of a page by clicking on the speaker icon, or to individual words by clicking on them. Learners maintain fluency and independence and are able to record their own voice on each page.

Why not print the pages of talking books and provide learners with the opportunity to read the books away from the computer!

Pop-up picture and word grids enable learners to write their own versions of talking books – selecting pictures, words or phrases for each page!

By creating your own Clicker books, it’s easy to focus on particular vocabulary, such as high-frequency words – or a particular teaching point, such as rhyming strings – so you have control over the content.

Incorporate as much repetition as necessary to meet the ability needs of users, and include your own photographs, sound, and video files!
