Free Technology for Teachers: Have You Tried Voice Typing In Google Docs? - It's Easy to Use



I'm always looking for different ways to encourage all learners to be successful. The link to this tip for using the voice typing tool in Google docs could be very helpful for students who struggle with typing or writing their thoughts. I also recommend ReadWriteGold as a speech to text as well as text to speech extension that students can access in Google as well. It is worth exploring the Google web store for a variety of extensions and apps that students can utilize to become more independent with their learning.



If you have questions about how we are using the chrome books in class, please ask your students about our goal setting conferences this week. Each student will be able to walk his/her parent/guardian(s) through our learning so far, including our use of technology in the classroom. Students will lead these conferences on Wednesday, October 7 from 4:30 -6 and Thursday, October 8 from 6 - 8:30. If these times do not work with your schedule, please contact your home room teacher to book an alternate time.
