One of the main challenges with Clicker 6 is getting the time to get the program set up, and finding / creating activities for your students. On this page, you will find an overview of Clicker 6’s “Quick Start” feature, 90-second lessons, as well as links to searchable databases of Clicker 6 activities.

Quick Start

The following video shows how to use the Quick Start feature to get independent writers started. They can either create a document or they can create a book. It is also a page for students to access favourite Clicker grids as well as ones they have recently worked on. One consideration for implementation is how you will get the grids you want to use onto all the computers. If your school IT department is able to create a file folder that your entire class can access from separate computers, this might be a good option to consider.

And finally, we have already looked at Learning Grids, and Curriculum SET, but these are two great resources for pre-made Clicker grids, and well worth exploring. Take some time now to have a look at the many resources available on these sites.
