Read & Write for Google updates

Since the last faculty meeting, we've seen an uptick in people using Read & Write for Google, particularly for simplifying pages.  I hope your students are finding this helpful.  One thing to point out is that simplify page doesn't work on all web pages-- it works particularly well for news articles but may not work as well on content that the web designer has intentionally embedded into graphics.

Since the meeting, Read & Write has announced two new updates:

  1. Read & Write now works in GMail and Google Sites! See the screenshot below.
  2. There is an improved ePub reader (ePub is a standard e-book format).
Please let me know how I can help you and your students use this tool. 

Note for teachers: here are the instructions for getting your account.
