Clicker Paint is an exciting new product from Crick Software, the developers of the best-selling Clicker software. Far from being just another paint program, Clicker Paint has a number of unique and inclusive features that make it a valuable educational tool, particularly for struggling readers and writers, English language learners, and students with accessibility requirements.
Clicker Paint integrates fully with Clicker 5 yet works as a standalone program as well. It also boasts unique accessibility features, making it probably the most accessible painting program available.
Clicker Paint has been designed for use in the classroom. It has fully customizable tools and options that make it easy for teachers to create educational activities at a variety of levels. This flexibility is particularly powerful when the program is used from within Clicker 5.
"Many Clicker users have said they would like to be able to illustrate their talking books," said John Crick, Managing Director, "…and Clicker Paint makes this a breeze…now students of all abilities can create books that include their own text, voice recording and illustrations. And that's just the start – there are numerous other exciting applications of the program."
Lots of ready-made curriculum related activities and templates are included with Clicker Paint. And each activity is designed for use in the classroom with a variety of student abilities. For example, some students might paint their own pictures in their talking book about animals, while some might color in line drawings of the animals, using just the fill tool and a small number of colors. Others might work on a butterfly symmetry activity or create their own sea creature stamps to add to their sea life picture.
Although it has a powerful set of painting tools, is fully accessible and boasts incredible levels of customization, Clicker Paint is extremely child and teacher friendly. Like other Crick products, Clicker Paint will be supported by ready-made materials at their highly popular LearningGrids.com website.
