Closing The Gap webinar

“This webinar explores how the iPad can be used as a powerful tool to support struggling readers and writers in middle school through higher education. The webinar covers a range of built-in literacy supports available on the iPad, including text-to-speech, word prediction, and highlighting tools, and demonstrates how these features can benefit students with different learning needs.

Additionally, the webinar highlights third-party apps that can enhance the iPad’s capabilities even further, including apps that provide advanced text-to-speech functionality, convert text to sign language, and provide writing supports. Participants will learn best practices for integrating the iPad and its literacy supports into their instruction, and how to evaluate the effectiveness of these tools in improving students’ literacy outcomes!”
