Google Search Tools

Everything is Searchable!

Google Voice Search

YouTube

Classroom Use:  This tool is great for students who have challenges with fine motor skills (typing) and/or written output. By using this, students are able to be more independent and can also tailor their search to find materials at their individual reading level.  This aids in helping students to be successful and can also lead to increased self-confidence.
