Workshops on Free Tech Tools That Address Learning Challenges

This workshop teaches students how to make digital text and PDFs easier to read using a small set of free, intuitive tools. Students will learn how to simplify a web page, listen to text using read-aloud, and use a PDF tool to zoom, highlight, and add a short note.

This workshop teaches students how to use dictation and light editing tools to turn ideas into written work with less effort. Students will learn how to speak a rough draft into Google Docs, make a few quick edits, and use one free writing support tool to check spelling and clarity.

This workshop teaches students how to use FreeMath to complete multi-step math work in a clearer digital format and how to use Desmos to visually check whether an answer makes sense. The primary focus is on pre-algebra and Algebra 1 students, though the organizational approach in FreeMath is adaptable for students working at other math levels with instructor guidance. The workshop supports organization and self-checking, not math instruction.
