Description: Pivoting away from the traditional classroom in 2020 has shown teachers, parents, and students that we have some work to do to make online learning equitable and accessible to every single student. ReadSpeaker is committed to adding a voice (or an instant audiobook) across a school’s online learning environment. ReadSpeaker’s integrations require no downloads and no passwords and have become a vital study aide for students across the country.   

Participants will learn: 

  • How 1-Click listening to course content in Google Classroom or a school’s learning management system works
  • Why ReadSpeaker’s usage has increased 40% since the start of the pandemic  
  • How students use ReadSpeaker to study, block out online distractions, and listen to course material offline

There will be a question and answer session at the end of the demonstration.
