Google Read and Write is a Chrome Extension that serves as a digital reading and writing tool kit for our students. It includes
predictive text
speech-to-text
highlighters
electronic dictionaries
and much much more
These tools are designed to tailor the writing process to provide the student with the right amount of support to make writing manageable but also keep the learning going. We will talk more about how to apply these tools to learning elsewhere. But for now please take a look of this video that gives an overview of the Read and Write Chrome Extension.
