On May 25th we held our first ever EMSB parent webinar. We explored the basics of assistive technology and demonstrated the Read&Write toolbar in Google Chrome which all EMSB students have access to with their EMSB email and password.

As promised, since registration filled up so quickly, below is the video to the webinar recording for parents who were unable to attend:

 

Here you can also find more resources to help you get started with Read&Write:

• How to access your child’s EMSB email and password (if you do not already have this information from your school). Please note that the request for the email and password is under the “We’re Here To Help” section at the bottom of this page.
• How to login to Chrome to gain access to Read&Write.
  • Visual step by step instructions
  • Video instructions
• Read&Write tool overview
• Webinar Presentation slides
• Read&Write YouTube playlist -Overview of each tool.

Thanks to our EMSB parent community for the great discussion and turnout!
