First Post

Following my previous practice i had a year one class, ICT lessons often consisted of using a single program called clicker which is to aid pupils with sentence composition. I often found the pupils not to gain much from this experience. They would often just click on random buttons to create a sentence and when they were asked to read it back to you, then 9/10 they were unable to retell you what they had created.
I realise that finding a suitable program for year one classes is quite hard however has anyone come across any which might be better than the one i have described? or has has anyone seen the program clicker used effectivley within a key stage one class and could perhaps tell me how it was put into practice effectivley?
