Blog post 5

In this week’s reading of “Sail the 7 c’s With Microsoft education” Chapter 2 Communication, there were lots of different tools that are offered by Microsoft that I personally found very useful as an educator and that I learned a lot about each individual one. The tool that I learned the most about and piqued my interest would be Microsoft’s Immersive Reader tool, this tool was originally an Add-on feature to Microsoft’s applications now it is embedded into almost every program that Microsoft offers.  This tool allows users like myself to truly adjust and accommodate the information that is trying to be viewed into something that is suitable for their issues with reading. I learned that I  can adjust or enable the following: Text size, spacing, font, highlighting tool, line focus feature, picture dictionary, and translate any word or document into over 60 different languages. The Immersive reader tool is something that I didn’t know existed and now I have used it multiple times in different applications within my own personal schooling and life. It is very impressive to have such a well-functioning tool that can help me adjust my information into something that fits my specific needs and accommodations. The information that I am trying to interpret is now in a comfortable font, highlightable, and can be sorted in any way that I feel is truly efficient for my uses. On top of all the amazing factors I have learned about from using this program, it is completely free to use. In my opinion, this tool is an all-around win-win, extremely versatile and completely free! From a technical standpoint this tool would assist so many students who struggle with reading comprehension and feeling comfortable with accessing information efficiently.
