Let’s Talk Technology!

May 5, 2020 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm

Join us to discuss remote learning and challenges with technology.

Are you having difficulty getting your child to read text in Google Docs or working in Google Classroom?

Are you having difficulty helping your child take notes while watching long videos?

Students with reading, writing and comprehension difficulties are struggling to keep up with doing all their work on the computer.

In this session parents can learn about the different formats that are being uploaded by teachers and how they can have their child manipulate them effectively.  Learn how to use free text-to-speech tools to read text or speech recognition to write.
