The first tool that I found intriguing was EasyReader because it gives you access to over 40 libraries for free. When you use it you have the flexibility to read your own way. It’s available to use on a wide range of devices like iPhones, iPads, tablets, Amazon Fire Kindle, etc.
Clips are the second tool I found and with this application, you can create and share videos with cool effects, and tons of language options. Teacher scan creates e short video to introduce a class project or give instructions to a substitute teacher. It’s a great way for students to practice creativity and presentation skills.
Read&Write is another great tool to use in the classroom because it’s a text-to-speech extension. It helps students of all abilities access texts and improve their skills. There is a screen mask feature that darkens most of the page other than a horizontal line that the student controls. It helps to keep students focused on one line at a time. The simplify feature gives students control of font size, spacing, and color contrast.
National Geographic Kids is about providing numerous high-quality visual learning tools that focus on the natural world and on world cultures. Some standouts include features like Funny Fill-Ins games; video series like Weird But True!, Best Job Ever, and Try This!; deeper dives into topics such as Native Americans, African American Heroes, and Women Heroes
Google Meet is another great accessibility tool for students because you can have video meetings with people inside or outside your classroom. This application has a live caption, record captions, transcripts, keyboard shortcuts, and screen reader features to enhance your learning experience.
The sixth tool I found is Loom which is a tool that allows you to create, present, and assess with effortless interactive screencasts. You can record audio, video, browser windows, or entire screens in a Chrome extension or mobile app. This app has feature walkthroughs, it’s great to be able to just share a link or embed a video without having to worry about file organization and storage, and it’s much easier to share films with other teachers.
The lat accessibility tool that I believe is most helpful is Action Blocks. It makes your routine easier with customizable icons on your Android home screen. Action Blocks can be customized to perform anything the Assistant can do in a single tap, such as calling another person, watching your favorite show, controlling the lights, and more.
