[nobe-l] NOBE-L Digest, Vol 148, Issue 2

Wed Sep 7 12:55:22 UTC 2016

Craig,

Shared this on another list, but just wanted to mention that I am aware of a new Google Docs Add-On called Grackle Talks that is an accessibility checker for Google Docs.  It helps users check their documents for typical accessibility issues and assist them in correcting them.  It can also generate tagged PDF output from the Google Doc as well.  This is a helpful tool for Google Users!  The Add-On can be found on the Add-On store.  Here is a link to the Add-On.

Thank you for the responses.  Kathy, I will try that site.  Chopper, I am not confident in the accessability of Google Forms or Sheets, to pull this off.  I know that Google products have been improved, but I think we have all run into past issues with them.
As for a small number of kids who don't possess phones, I can get their answer verbally.
I would not be grading these responses.  They would be information to guide lesson planning and assess how well students are learning.
Craig
