00:00:06.915 --> 00:00:11.030
You've heard that Clicker and Clicker
Writer now include Widgit Symbols.

00:00:11.350 --> 00:00:13.307
I'm going to show you a
few ways that you could use

00:00:13.308 --> 00:00:16.310
these within Clicker to support
students in your classes.

00:00:16.890 --> 00:00:18.890
I'm going to jump over into Clicker
desktop.

00:00:21.630 --> 00:00:26.291
And I've taken a couple of Clicker Sets from
LearningGrids about making gingerbread biscuits.

00:00:27.150 --> 00:00:29.210
Here I've got a Quick Words Clicker Set.

00:00:29.710 --> 00:00:32.370
I'm going to go to the Clicker Set menu
and edit.

00:00:33.570 --> 00:00:37.550
And over to the pictures menu,
I'm going to click Picturize.

00:00:38.040 --> 00:00:40.650
And I'm going to go to the source tab.

00:00:41.310 --> 00:00:44.810
And I'm going to deselect CrickPix and opt
for Widgit Symbols.

00:00:45.310 --> 00:00:50.350
Hit Picturize and each cell gets a Widgit
Symbol to support.

00:00:51.090 --> 00:00:57.030
Hit go and it takes me back into the
student run mode and students can type and send

00:00:57.180 --> 00:01:00.890
specific words to the text and to their document
when they need them.

00:01:03.030 --> 00:01:06.150
Some students will need more sentence
level support.

00:01:06.476 --> 00:01:10.576
So here I've got a Clicker Sentence Set on
the same topic designed for students who

00:01:10.695 --> 00:01:12.850
are building up an understanding of
sentences.

00:01:12.930 --> 00:01:16.030
I'm going to go through those steps again
for this Clicker Set.

00:01:16.110 --> 00:01:21.270
And you're going to see how that can apply for
a Sentence Set too and add a bit more support.

00:01:21.610 --> 00:01:24.410
I could apply to all grids.

00:01:24.610 --> 00:01:26.510
Here I've got lots of grids in my Clicker
Set.

00:01:27.110 --> 00:01:30.365
I could choose to ignore
high frequency words or not

00:01:30.366 --> 00:01:33.450
depending on how many
symbols I want in my Clicker Set.

00:01:33.870 --> 00:01:37.170
Again, I'm going to go to source and
Widgit Symbols and Picturize.

00:01:37.500 --> 00:01:43.730
And you can see that each grid in my
Clicker Set has Widgit Symbols to support.

00:01:44.656 --> 00:01:54.271
Again, I'm going to go to Go and each grid in
the set has got symbols there for the student.

00:01:55.550 --> 00:02:03.330
So here I'm going to say grease a baking
tray with some butter and then a full stop.

00:02:05.956 --> 00:02:07.730
and Clicker will read it back to the student.

00:02:07.810 --> 00:02:12.730
Of course the student can use the symbol
to support or right click on

00:02:12.731 --> 00:02:17.290
any cell to have those words or the word
inside read back to them.

00:02:19.470 --> 00:02:21.552
Next I'm going to jump over
into Clicker Writer and show

00:02:21.553 --> 00:02:24.890
you how we can use symbols
in Clicker Writer as well.

00:02:25.650 --> 00:02:30.210
This time for students who are perhaps
further up the school.

00:02:30.770 --> 00:02:32.870
They're working on some subject specific
vocabulary.

00:02:33.310 --> 00:02:35.616
Here I've got one of my
favourite Clicker Sets that I used

00:02:35.617 --> 00:02:38.430
to use with my Year 4 classes
around natural disasters.

00:02:39.660 --> 00:02:43.722
Again I'm going to go up to
the Clicker Set menu and edit

00:02:43.723 --> 00:02:47.490
and we've got a similar
picture menu in Clicker Writer.

00:02:47.770 --> 00:02:52.030
When we're in edit mode I'm going to
Picturize with Widgit Symbols and ignore

00:02:52.031 --> 00:02:55.663
high frequency words and
we've got all these Widgit

00:02:55.664 --> 00:02:58.530
Symbols there for students
who want symbol support.

00:02:59.330 --> 00:03:04.050
I could save that and give that to
students who require symbol support.

00:03:04.380 --> 00:03:10.510
If I want to remove pictures I can do that
quickly again from that menu and then I

00:03:10.511 --> 00:03:16.470
could Picturize with CrickPix for some
other students and we get more realistic

00:03:16.471 --> 00:03:21.911
pictures that are drawn by an artist that
might be more preferable to certain students.

00:03:21.950 --> 00:03:25.670
So that's another way we could use symbols
in Clicker to support.

00:03:26.230 --> 00:03:30.230
Next I am going to jump back into Clicker
desktop.

00:03:31.710 --> 00:03:38.110
This time I'm going to think about
creating a Clicker Set from scratch.

00:03:38.530 --> 00:03:43.070
So I'm going to go to Clicker Set and New
and again I'm going to have a Word Bank.

00:03:43.071 --> 00:03:48.290
It's going to take me into edit mode and
I'm going to now bring across some

00:03:48.365 --> 00:03:53.050
planning that I used to use when I was
teaching until last year.

00:03:53.070 --> 00:03:57.210
This is some planning that we worked on
making sure we're using subject

00:03:57.211 --> 00:03:59.730
specific vocabulary while we're teaching
history.

00:04:00.670 --> 00:04:08.090
So I'm going to copy the vocab in my
planning document here and paste that into

00:04:08.190 --> 00:04:12.610
my edit mode of Clicker.

00:04:13.690 --> 00:04:16.970
This is the vocabulary that I want all the
students in my class to have a really rich

00:04:16.971 --> 00:04:20.570
understanding of by the time they've
finished their learning on the ancient Egyptians.

00:04:20.571 --> 00:04:21.571
Hit OK.

00:04:22.570 --> 00:04:26.510
My Word Bank is created with all that
vocabulary that's probably on my working

00:04:26.511 --> 00:04:29.510
wall, on word banks around the classroom as
well.

00:04:29.930 --> 00:04:31.370
Again I'm going to Picturize.

00:04:32.303 --> 00:04:36.550
I'm going to ignore high frequency words
and I'm going to go to Widgit Symbols,

00:04:36.890 --> 00:04:38.990
hit Picturize and OK.

00:04:39.410 --> 00:04:43.810
And again we've got symbol support in a
Clicker Set and students can send these

00:04:43.811 --> 00:04:46.790
words to their document to support with
their writing.

00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:51.790
So a couple of quick ways
to add symbols quickly to

00:04:51.791 --> 00:04:54.231
your Clicker Sets in Clicker
desktop and Clicker Writer.

00:04:54.530 --> 00:04:57.370
Just another scaffold that you can use
within Clicker.
