Google has released new tools for the classroom, such as a new “reading mode” for Chrome that makes reading simpler for people with ADHD and dyslexia.
With the new reading mode, users can customise the reader view that appears in the browser’s side panel. The absence of graphics and videos in reading mode helps users concentrate on the material. The reader can also change the typeface, font size and spacing, text colour, and background colour.
A YouTube video can now include interactive questions thanks to the new functionality. The students can respond to them, receive quick feedback, or, if necessary, revisit the video. Teachers will benefit from this information about pupils’ growth.
With Google Meet, a brand-new feature called Hand Raise Gesture Detection powered by AI has been unveiled. The AI can recognise when a student raises their hand physically or in real life, choose the hand raise icon automatically, and send the user to the main grid.
In conclusion, Google has released new educational tools that can make it easier for students with ADHD and dyslexia to read. One of these tools is a new “reading mode” for Chrome that lets users alter the reader view’s typeface, font size, and spacing as well as the text and background colours.
