Hi I'm Beth. I'm new to Sacred Heart this year and I am teaching new entrants. Previously I have taught year 4/5 and year 1 students. I am very familar with the use of Kidpix but am interested in other ideas/programs for the junior students. My goal for students is to gain good mouse control using KidPix so they are able to draw and write and express their ideas across all curriculum areas.We have started this term with basic mouse clicking activities and drawing lines and shapes. My goal as a teacher is to learn to use Clicka 5 to create interactive lessons for the students.

21/4 Hi Beth, Great to hear that you have skills with Kidpix! Clicker 5 is an awesome program and great for juniors but can be a little bit complicated to get the hang of. Still, it sounds as if you will be fine with your previous experience. Clicker 5 comes with a brilliant instruction book with clear pictures to show the different functions. I have also put together some instructions that you could run yourself through that you can access from my wiki. If you want extra support with Clicker 5, I can pop in anytime after school.
