Has your school, district, or university "Gone Google" or are you thinking about it? If so,
you are in good company.
The numbers of students using Google Apps for Education doubled from 2010 - 2012 and
is continuing to grow rapidly by adding over 5 million users each year.
The benefits of "Going Google" are immense. They include significant savings in IT, including
infrastructure costs, tremendous savings in time, and increased productivity in classroom.
And then there are the collaboration tools. Teachers and students can access and collaborate
on documents, presentations, calendars and more at school, home or anywhere in between.
But...what about accessibility? How do you ensure that all of your students, especially
struggling readers and writers, those with learning disabilities such as dyslexia, or
English Language Learners, have the supports they need to access the same content as their
peers?
Read&Write for Google is the answer.
Read&Write for Google integrates with Google Drive and offers unprecedented access to Google
Docs, PDFs, ePubs, and more on Macs, PCs, and Chromebooks.
The suite of Read&Write for Google tools includes:
The Read&Write for Google Docs Chrome Extension - which is a toolbar that works with your
Google Documents to provide read aloud with dual color highlighting. It also offers an
array of support tools for students, including a Picture Dictionary, Talking
Dictionary, Translator, Study Skills Highlighters, Vocabulary List Builder, and more.
The PDF Reader reads aloud PDF documents with dual color highlighting. In addition to the
same support tools used with Google Docs, Typewriter and Push Pin annotation tools are
included.

All of these tools are included in one online solution that can be given to a single user
or pushed out to your entire domain. Pretty cool, right?
