Chrome extensions and various digital tools can minimize distractions for our kids who have a hard time attending to the text or who might have a visual impairment. Digital manipulatives and voice capturing tools encourage kids to show what they know while they articulate their thinking. Screencasts and videos give windows into exactly where in the process student thinking has gone awry. Families are instantly connected to their students' learning and get opportunities to cheer them on along the way and celebrate progress as opposed to needing to wait for Report Card conferences or a 504/IEP meeting.
