Crick Software blog
Recently, I had the opportunity to demonstrate to a school the power of Clicker's Word Pool in enhancing inclusivity within their learning environment. By adding words, particularly students' names, to the Word Pool dictionary, educators can ensure that these words are included in spell checks and accurately pronounced when read aloud by Clicker.
I recently ran a webinar on using Clicker as part of your whole class teaching. Clicker is an invaluable support tool, but we recognize that not all schools have the licenses or devices for every student to access Clicker in every lesson.
Despite strides made in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, learning gaps remain. Test scores are still down, absenteeism is on the rise, and a looming teacher shortage lurks in the shadows. Because of these concerns, school districts are turning to federal funding to bolster initiatives for better student outcomes.
The challenges faced by students learning English as an additional language are multi-layered. They are not only learning English but also learning curriculum subjects through English.
We have some great news! Following feedback from our Clicker Communicator users, our team has been working on some exciting updates which have just gone live!

If you follow our social channels, you’ll know that we love sharing schools’ Clicker successes. What’s so fantastic about our most recent examples is how varied they are.
We’ve thoroughly enjoyed fundraising for KidsAid over the last two years and seeing the amazing difference the money has made. Our donations have mainly been used to refurnish and supply resources for their therapy rooms, which are a crucial part of the support they offer children and their families near our UK office in Northampton.
We love that our Clicker success stories highlight how the software can transform learning for entire cohorts of students. Often educators are trying to find a solution for a particular group of students who are struggling with writing, but when Clicker is introduced, they realize the benefits it offers to all learners.
Recently, we spoke with a school who have successfully used Clicker to transform a student’s negative relationship with writing and improved their outlook and pride in their written work.
