Google Extension Tools we Love
These are just a few Google extensions that we think you will find useful. All of these extensions are free to DSBN students when they are logged into Chrome using their DSBN credentials. They are all very user friendly but if you haven't used them before, take the time now to play and figure them out! As always, if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us.
Provides excellent reading and writing support. Has text to speech and speech to text capability in English and in French. Will read many online documents for you. You can simply use the microphone on your computer or use mic'd headphones. Definitely give this one a try!
