Clicker Paint is an exciting new program that fully integrates with Clicker 5 and works as a powerful stand-alone program as well. Clicker Paint has been designed as an educational tool, incorporating unique and innovative features that add a new dimension to student creativity.

Clicker Paint works seamlessly within Clicker, enabling students to illustrate their writing and engage in a range of new learning activities. A button on the Clicker Grid opens Clicker Paint as a pop-up that provides the tools and canvas for you to compose your picture. When you close the pop-up, the picture automatically transfers to your Clicker Grid!

Clicker Paint is incredibly student-friendly, yet includes many powerful features that will motivate children of all abilities, whether you are working within Clicker or using it as a stand-alone program. In addition to using the child-friendly painting tools to illustrate their stories, students can also engage in a range of activities that address specific learning objectives.

Some activities start with a picture already on the canvas and with just the most relevant tools and colors available. For example, the student may be offered a simple line drawing to complete, with only the fill tool and the relevant colors available. Other activities include finding and highlighting objects with the circular brush, and using the stamp tool to add pictures to a background - students can even create their own stamps!

As a teacher you can use Clicker Paint as an assessment tool - perfect for English language learners and struggling readers and writers. It's easy to customize activities according to learning objectives and the abilities of your students.

With Clicker Paint, new Clicker activities and templates are supplied to get you started right away. The activities are ready to use, yet can be very easily modified for particular lessons. The templates make it easy for your students to create talking books with their own illustrations, and for you to create new activities.

At LearningGrids.com, you will find lots more free ready-made activities, covering a whole range of curriculum areas! Clicker Paint is simply the best thing ever to happen to paint programs for children!

Clicker Paint introductory pricing is available from CCV Software.

9 out of 10 elementary school kids have been subjected to physical or psychological bullying by their peers, while 6 in 10 have been bullies themselves, according to a new study.

"The results show that even going down to young ages, we have very high levels of bullying and victimization," said study lead author Dr. Thomas P. Tarshis, who conducted the research while with the division of child and adolescent psychiatry at Stanford University Medical Center.

Citing the lack of a fast and insightful way to gauge elementary school bullying, Tarshis first teamed with Stanford colleague Dr. Lynne C. Huffman to design a new and simple questionnaire that could be completed by children quickly and reliably.

The survey was restricted to a single page of multiple-choice questions aimed at a third-grade reading level and was designed to be completed in a classroom setting within five to 10 minutes. The children were asked 22 questions describing one of two bullying scenarios -- "direct" bullying involving physical violence or the threat of harm and "indirect" bullying involving social ostracizing, teasing, giving "looks" or spreading rumors.

With funding from the U.S. National Institutes of Health, Tarshis and Huffman administered the questionnaire in 2004 to 95 boys and girls attending fourth through sixth grades at two California elementary schools and 175 students attending third through fourth grade in one school in Arizona. The schools from which the kids were drawn were approximately 60 percent white, 20 percent Hispanic and 6 percent African-American.

CCV Software has some excellent programs to prevent bullying including
BullyFree for Kids and BullyFree for Teens. Here's what some say about Ripple Effects:

"This is the best thing I've seen in a long, long time in terms of prevention. It gets to kids in a simple way - and changes the way they behave."
Rochelle St. Marie, Prevention Coordinator, LaFourche Parish School District, Lockport, LA

"It's like winning the lottery-but a lottery of wisdom."
Nicky Prado, School Secretary, Lionel Wilson Preparatory Academy, Oakland, CA

Tom Snyder Productions, a Scholastic company, announces the release of Scholastic Keys in the Classroom, a teacher resource book that provides over 50 curriculum-aligned lessons to accompany the activity files included in the award-winning software programs, Scholastic Keys and MaxData.

Scholastic Keys offers elementary students a kid-friendly interface and educational enhancements for Microsoft® Word, Excel, and PowerPoint® to provide students with an early introduction to using Microsoft Office. MaxData gives students an age-appropriate introduction to databases so students can learn all aspects of data handling from the first steps of simple data representation to learning database concepts such as fields, field types, records, tables, and filters. The book's lessons extend students' experience with each software program and cover topics in language arts, math, social studies, science, and technology for grades K-6.

"With Scholastic Keys in the Classroom we have made it even easier for educators to integrate technology into their lessons, while still teaching core curriculum," said Rick Abrams, General Manager of Tom Snyder Productions. "The lessons in this book were written by former teachers and masterfully fuse the teaching of technology with the learning of 21st century skills, such as effective communicating, critical thinking, and creativity."

Scholastic Keys and MaxData are also available as a Scholastic Keys/MaxData Bundle. 

Beyoncé, Justin Timberlake and Dixie Chicks albums, Last King of Scotland, Casino Royale and Happy Feet films are among winners scored using Sibelius

London, 26 February 2007 – Sibelius, the world’s best-selling music notation software, was used to produce albums and films winning more than 20 awards at the 2007 Oscars, Grammys and Baftas - including Best Screenplay, Best Album and Record of the Year.

Sibelius was used to arrange live instrumentation on Dixie Chicks' Taking The Long Way, which swept the board at the Grammys by taking Best Album, Best Song and Record of the Year. Beyoncé’s B’Day, which won Best Contemporary R&B Album at the awards, was also produced using Sibelius, as was Justin Timberlake’s FutureSex / LoveSounds, which featured the Best Dance Recording and Best Rap/Sung Collaboration.

Sibelius was also used on the Best Classical Album - a new recording of Mahler's Symphony No. 7 by the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Michael Tilson Thomas.

The music on Bryn Terfel's album Simple Gifts, which picked up Best Classical Crossover, was also arranged entirely using Sibelius. (More)
