Changing the Language Settings on a Chromebook for EL Students
Did you know that you can change the language setting on any Chromebook? By changing the language students can do research in their own native language by changing the setting on the Chromebook. I was in a middle school classroom with a student who only spoke Spanish and once she was able to read everything in Spanish, she was able to participate with the activity that the teacher had assigned via Google Classroom. You also have features that allow students to switch between languages on your keyboard, for those students in the Dual Immersion Program that need to write in Spanish and use accents, this is a useful tool.
