Best Practices for Students to Write

Strategies to Help with Writing:

  • Tips:

    • Read and Write only works when Google Slides is NOT in Present mode

    • Slow down the speed of reading text aloud by going to the 3 dots on right side - OPTIONS.

    • When using Schoology, when you have assessed your assignment and are working in the Google Slide:

      • Word prediction works well within the text boxes.

      • Speech to text currently works but the dictation appears in the SPEAKER NOTES at the bottom of the Google Slide. Students will have to cut and paste from the SPEAKER NOTES into the TEXT BOX. Dictate one sentence slowly at a time.
