Quick and Easy Worksheet accessibility on Chromebook/GAFE

RSS

Chromebook users can be challenged by a printed worksheet – not all scanners and other peripherals work with the Google OS machines. Even in a Windows environment, a lot of schools are going to cloud based apps for a lot of compelling reasons, not least of which is simplicity, low cost and anywhere access to tools. But using the usual hardware can add extra unfamiliar steps and complexity to tasks that need to be quick and easy to ensure success.

DJI just posted 3 minute videos that show how you can read and write on worksheets with just a phone and their cloud based, Chromebook ready tools -- in seconds.

Snap a picture of the worksheet, share to your computer (email, message or you could set the phone to automatically upload pics to a Google drive, Dropbox or One Drive, or Instagram) where Snap&Read will OCR and read in a second. Want to add answers to questions? With Co:Writer you can write or dictate answers into a text box.
