Clicker 5

Hi,
Clicker 5 is a writing support and multimedia tool for students of all abilities and students with special needs. Clicker can be used as a support teaching and learning tool.
It uses a talking word processor and pictures to guide students through pre-determined learning activities. Clicker 5 is engaging for students who have been trained in usein it. It is not only used for writing but also reading. It incorporates talking books, multimedia presentations and labelling activities.
In 2007, I received training in the use of clicker and it was sucessfully used in our special education department regularly for a year. Over time it has not been used as much. It depends on the cohort and the teachers on staff. Many schools in the area still use clicker everyday. There is a comprehensive bank on the net for people to use freely and interact with.

Web Quest

Hi,
Webquests use an inquiry approach to learning, which means students need to ask questions. The best issues to have on a webquest are problematic or controversial. When adding links they need to be purposeful to lead students into another way of questioning to find answers. They are useful for students to find and use.

However, adventureous teachers may ask students to create one of their own about a topic that they are discussing in class. In this case the students would have to think about an introduction, key question and task, process, resources, evaluation and conclusion. Webquests are time consuming to create but are very rewarding once they are complete.

e-brochure

Hi,
e-brochure looks very interesting. They are very interactive and allow for lots of information about a topic. I am sure students would like to present work in one of these. They look a little like an e-book. Have a look at this link. e-brochure.
