Crick Software blog
Recently we spoke with staff at St Catherine’s Academy to find out how they are using Clicker as a school-wide approach to learning support.
Our upcoming free webinars are full of fantastic information for educators and have been curated by our knowledgeable team of experienced teachers and Senior Education Consultants. This term’s webinars also welcome special guests who are experts in SEND, ICT and Inclusion. So, here’s what’s coming up this term and how you can register…
This term we have a packed agenda of training webinars to support you in using Clicker and DocsPlus effectively.
Clicker enables children of all abilities to significantly develop their reading and writing skills (and confidence). As such, it is widely used to teach children to understand, speak, read and write in English, and enable them to participate in lessons with their peers.
In a recent conversation with a school, science came up as a subject that teachers were keen to discuss. Particularly how children of differing reading/writing abilities can successfully discuss and record the same science investigation.
If you’ve just purchased Clicker or DocsPlus and need some help getting the software onto your devices, our new step-by-step videos will have you up and running in no time!
We recently ran a webinar focusing on using Clicker to support children writing their own stories. I’ve gathered some of the ideas and resources we shared here.
A lot of the time, we can forget the most important part of the lesson: reflection.
For a lot of children, the summer holiday means a break from the stresses of school. But a change to the normal routine can bring other challenges for many children. Clicker is a good tool to use to check in with a child to see how they are doing.
Getting students to write confidently within a range of non-fiction genres is no easy task. But our set of WorkSpace planners for DocsPlus on LearningGrids could be just what you’re looking for if you have students starting out or struggling with writing non-fiction text types.
Our technical support staff play a vital role in helping schools to get up and running with our software and are always on hand if you need some advice during your subscription. We’re delighted to welcome three new members to the team!
How do you collect your pupils’ prior knowledge?
We recently ran a webinar focusing on approaches you can take to introduce Clicker to pupils. I’ve gathered some of the ideas we shared here.
Let’s explore how our Great Barrier Reef Clicker resources can be used to develop children’s understanding of the importance, beauty and threats faced by this spectacular underwater world.
During a recent training session, staff were particularly interested to find out how you could use Clicker to support EAL pupils.
