ClicSoft - Educational Software

PLEASE NOTE: THIS SOFTWARE REQUIRES MY WORLD OR TEXTEASE TO RUN. Both formats have real speech. The My World format has scaling buttons that are particularly useful for children with VISUAL IMPAIRMENT. The CD-ROM includes both the the My World 3 and Textease format of the software. The My World 3 format self installs. The Textease format must be manually installed.

Both the English and English / Welsh versions of My World 3 are available from ClicSoft.

The screens provide a variety of activities including dragging, labelling, sorting and investigative activities. Many may lead to related classroom activities e.g. 'hands on' practical work. Buttons enable pupils to access task, help and research panels enabling them to work individually or in groups with minimal teacher supervision. Text buttons, word and picture banks may be used to add further information to the screens.

A 'New Screen' option accessed via the Task panels is a useful extra function. The new screens are normally blank, but have the same buttons as the related screens. They may be customised by teachers and pupils alike and used to extend topic areas or complete tasks set by the teacher. They are useful when the related screens have fixed graphic / or text and for adapting the set activities for pupils with special needs.

This software is particularly useful for introducing new topic areas and revising previous topics. The nature of both My World and Textease means that the screens are adaptable. The software may be used as both text book and exercise book and may be customised by teachers and pupils alike. The screens do not self correct giving children the opportunity to make and justify their own decisions. With differentiation by outcome, each screen thus provides assessment opportunities.
