Immerse Yourself in OneNote |
Since the state/district is moving towards computer based testing, it has become necessary to prepare our students for this process. Special education students with the read-to accommodation need to be accustomed to taking the test online in order to meet this change as well. In that respect I have used the Immersive Reader program through Office 365. By using this program my students will be more accustomed to the voice of the computer (male and female); as well as being able to manipulate the controls to have the test read to them. |
