Foreign Language Instruction with Clicker

Tom Patten - Hewitt School
 * Clicker is a supportive writing tool that includes visuals and a speech engine for various language
 * Software only includes English speech engine
 * Clicker foreign language plugin called Digalo, however I think this was changed recently
 * Teachers create grids which include visual representations of vocab words
 * Students can click on words and construct sentences/work on sequencing
 * [|www.learninggrids.com] is an excellent resource for templates which can generate ideas
 * Plantronics brand headset is high-end solution for recording and listening...Staples might have cheap alternative
 * Handful of laptops make a great learning center
