Hands-on with Cloze Pro and Clicker 5

The process of becoming familiar with both Cloze Pro and Clicker 5 during class last week left me thinking about ways to get this information out to the rest of the staff. As I read through posts created by others, it seems to be a common dilemma or challenge with many of us. As with most of these applications- doors are opened for students that have the potential to be life changing when it comes to communicating and overall school experience.

I have taken some time to explore a few related sites to try and become a bit more familiar prior to the assignment this week. I have just posted a couple of sites that I found had some pretty relevant information and applications for the two programs...

One very exciting thing that I see linked with Cloze Pro and Clicker 5 is that they appear to be Smart Board ready- this would be a huge benefit to the staff at my school as we have made the commitment to have Smart Boards in our classrooms. It is always nice to be able to build upon our capability to program for all students using the technology we have enthusiastically purchased for our school.

I obviously need to learn how to add links to this.... can't be that hard!

The more that we know about these programs and the more comfortable we are with them the more extensions we are able to find. Linking it to other courses, other teachers would be the next step and seeing how our teachers and students react to using these programs in other courses would be interesting to see.

Enjoyed the case study presentation you ladies made last Wednesday night. You have opened up the world of education and learning to your student. No small task!

Thanks.

I really enjoyed your presentation on Wednesday. Your case study emphasized the importance of looking at the student as a whole, and taking this into consideration when programming. It has been nice working with our Pod. :)
