Session description

This session will share the ways to get the most out of accessibility features you and your students can use in Google Apps for Education tools. These tools are great for all students, especially those needing accessibility or language support.

Purpose & objective

Teachers are creating more digital content but don't know how to ensure that content is accessible to their users (students). In this session, I'll help teachers leverage the features in Google Apps for Education that enhance accessibility.

During this snapshot session, I'll share a "top 10" accessibility features they can use in Google Apps for Education.

I'll feel the session was successful if educators leave excited about implementing just 1 of the top 10 features.
