Introduction

Students have a lot of new material to read, to learn with many new terms, vocabulary and new languages too. In this section of the course, we explore tools:

on your phones
built into standard software we use daily
you can download for free to your phones or computers.

These tools will read text aloud to students from their textbooks, from their notes, from websites, or from any learning materials which teachers share online. Another tool will let you change a text file to a sound file so you can listen to learn/revise anywhere anytime.

These can make learning materials easier to learn, retain, revise and recall including Irish and other languages.
