Notes de l'éditeur
- He wants strategies for continuous improvement
- And that is what I suggest for you to do today. Your assignment for this webinar today is to come up with your “Big Three” at the end of the webinar. Pick three things – start there!
- So, I embed my learning and take 15 minutes 2-3 times a week to learn and explore new technologies and this, has been the thing that has led to the complete transformation of my classroom! But you don’t have time – you say.
- Hover speech — you can highlight and it will read there - it starts reading wherever you have your mouse. Reads it to you — text on a page.
- Hover speech — you can highlight and it will read there - it starts reading wherever you have your mouse. Reads it to you — text on a page.
- Dictionary looks up the word for you.
- And you can see a picture of the item you’re reading about - some students learn better with drawings and pictures.
- Can also translate into the language of your choice. (Will show in a moment how to change language.)
- This is cool. Want to send an audio file of some text you’ve typed or found on the web. Highlight and hit a button and you have an mp3 file. Teach kids how to do this and put them on their phones.
- OK, so you have text in pictures and need it read! This is cool. Screenshot reader lets you draw a square around the picture and will read you everything in the image! Very cool.
- Now, I have worked with dyslexics and we know how guided reading strips help them focus on the text better. You have a guided reading script built into Read and Write for Google that will let you focus on just what you’re reading - called screenmask.
- Now, you can highlight words and phrases, but here is what is cool.
- but can also take highlighted words and click “vocabulary list and it makes word, definition, picture and notes and you have a cute handout!
- Now, dyslexics need help focusing as we saw with Screenmask - here’s a tip - click simplify, then do screenmask on top and you’ve got a much simplified page.
- This is a quick read aloud sent to teacher. Works via email. However if you want to do more with read alouds, I have another tool I’ll recommend later for that. This is just for quick things (or even questions for your students who struggle with writing and typing.)
- Remember to use tab to indent and shift tab to go backwards whether it is word, Powerpoint, or whatever tool you use.
- Speech input links up to Google Voice Typing - but this is what is different, you can use this button on the web or in forms or if your lMS like mine - Powerschool Learning has a box to type in, they can use this button to type directly into that box too. Very cool.
