Accessibility in Google for Education #GoogleEDU #SDLW24

As we come to the end of Scottish Digital Literacy Week, remember there are plenty of tools that you can use to support learner literacy within Google. This presentation gives you some ideas of the tools available both within Google Workspace and on the Chromebooks. Why not give it a go and share with your learners?
