Clicker 5 is a software that enables students to read text using teacher made (or borrowed) ebooks. The variety of students who can benefit from these ebooks is impressive. Teachers are also able to create assessment tools as well. For our AT class we have been making ebooks and assessments. I can easily see the power of using this tool for assisting students in the junior high context. Alternative presentation and assessment using this computer software will increase engagement by making text accessible for those students in need of different representation.
learninggrids.com is a website that has a bank of teacher created lessons(ebooks) and assessments. These are helpful and can be edited or adapted by teachers to meet their situational needs.
A colleague and I have contacted our AT specialist to get access of this software on a more regular basis.
Yeah Clicker 5!
