Clicker 5

I have to say I walked away from our last class very excited about Clicker 5. We have 9 students on the Autistism spectrum, 2 students with Cerebral Palsy, 2 students with Down Syndrome, 1 student with Williams Syndrome, 1 student with Anglemans and many others who are cognitively delayed learning within my school. Clicker 5 could support these students in many ways. I think about our Autistic students and echolalia. This is an excellent writing tool for those who struggle with creating ideas as Clicker 5 leads their writing and can provide them with choices. Not to mention the social stories that could be created!! And the writing activities around these social stories. It was with great excitment that I went back to work and asked to order Clicker 5. It was a tough sell... my administrator explained that we have alot of teachers whom go to inservices and come back wanting computer programs...the school orders them and then they never get used. I begged and promised it would get used and then offered to pay for it from my own pocket. I told her I would put my own money on it to guarantee that it was useful and would get used. Clicker 5 has been ordered and the school made the purchase!
