Are you new to Chromebooks? Maybe you have experience of using but not yet explored the accessibility features in full then this is the session for you. Whether you are teaching or training this session will explore accessibility features in your chromebook for your display, text to speech, mouse cursor with handy keyboard shortcuts and so much more.
You will definitely be able to develop an inclusive style of communicating with your audience with a quick, smart professional appearance by the end of the session.

Do you have students in your classes that struggle expressing themselves when writing/typing, but can talk clearly with good reasoning? Here is where dictation comes in. Join me for a guide to set up and the use of speech to text in the context of making sure every student can succeed.
