For those of you who are fans of read&write for google, I just read a post on one of my favorite blogs, Free Technology for Teachers (what could be better than that!) There's now an app that lets you access the Read&Write functions on your ipad google docs, and you can sign up as an educator to get free access to the premium features. The link to their blog post is below:

Thanks for sharing Joyce. I think this would be helpful since glitches tend to arise when you use read and write for google on netbooks when students have more than one tab open. Perhaps this would be a simpler way for students to read text in a document. Have you experimented with it at all?
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear that ReadWrite is glitching - I'll keep an eye out for that. I'm very impressed with the Read&Write app so far. I like how it accesses and reads google docs and other text with a yellow highlighted sentence and blue highlighted word - what a great focusing tool for focus-challenged children!
