Read&Write for Google Chrome™ - An Introduction
Introducing Read&Write for Google Chrome
We are excited to announce that we have purchased Read&Write for all students and educators here at SISD! This interactive toolbar makes documents, files, and web pages more accessible. Read&Write is a big confidence booster for anyone who needs a little support with their reading and writing, at school, or in the workplace. From hearing emails or documents read out loud to text prediction, picture dictionaries and summary highlighters, Read&Write makes lots of everyday literacy tasks simpler, quicker and more accurate.
Last month, we were able to host a Read&Write for Google Chrome™ Remote Training via Webinar here at the administration building. We were limited to the number of participants that were allowed to join, but each campus was represented. Below, you will find the link to the recorded webinar. This will give you an overview of what this tool can do.
