Microsoft Learning Tools Trial-
One of our Year 7 classes have been testing our Immersive Reader and Speech-to-text software through the new Microsoft Apps. Using the tools, students are able to record their ideas easily and listen to their written responses spoken back through their laptops. This helps with picking up grammatical errors or missing information in their writing.
Listening to Word documents through Immersive Reader can help students with proofreading, increase their comprehension, assist multitasking and support their learning. Have a go!
