Throughout the website Wakelet, I found a post about Improving Reading and Writing with Microsoft Learning Tools. No matter age, or education level, Microsoft provides many techniques and tools to further improve reading and writing skills in all students. These tools include reading and writing strategies that help students identify syllables and help them pronounce words to read and write properly. This is beneficial for all students but is also very helpful to those with learning differences like for example, dyslexia. As stated in the article, “this helps emerge readers and build confidence.”

Not only are reading and writing skills practiced, but Microsoft also provides a great way to study mathematical equations, expressions and more! For instance, there is a program that assists a student in taking notes as pen color as well as shapes and highlighting tools are arranged.

From this, I have taken away that technology tools are very useful in the classroom as well as at home when learning or studying new material. There are many apps and programs that can be used as a guide and can better organize your thoughts when reading and writing or separate your notes when learning math. Now that I am older I take advantage of the technological tools provided for me because when I was in the younger grade levels I had learned and studies very differently!
