This year, I had the opportunity to attend the South by Southwest Education Conference (SXSW EDU) in Austin, Texas. At the Education portion of the conference, you’re less likely to see movie stars or rock ’n’ rollers strolling the city streets (I know, bummer, right? Well…).

Barrier-Breaking Education: Lessons from SXSW EDU

Our round-up of key learnings from SXSW Edu 2022 conference. From topics on Assistive Technology (AT) and Universal Design for Learning (UDL) you're sure to find some useful takeaways from this blog by Deena Kimmel, Social Media and Community Manager at Texthelp.

I’m one of the speakers for this session, not that I’m biased or anything, but this is a must see. This is how we plan for success. This session will look at what UDL is and what it does. A lot of the advice is based on good teaching practice, so we know you're on your way to becoming an expert already. Our speakers will share some practical examples of how technology can support UDL, so you can continue to apply the principles.

Universal Design for Learning

How can we make maths more inclusive? During the event we’ll be delivering sessions, resources and advice on how to support students with maths and science. So don’t miss out if you’re looking for new ways to make STEM subjects more accessible and engaging.

Levelling the Playing Field - creating equity in mathematics.

I have a literacy background, so this topic is always going to be close to my heart. Being able to read and write effectively is key to education and employment, and the ability to participate fully in society. In this session we'll take a look at how we can reach everyone. Encouraging all students to develop these essential life skills.

Literacy is the key to lifelong learning

On 4 May, join us for our first ever virtual conference dedicated to education in Australia and New Zealand.

Digital classrooms and instructional content have evolved a lot since Read&Write first launched back in 2013. Read&Write has also evolved since then. It's been there to support students wherever they are - from Google Docs and Word Docs, to Learning Management Systems. Today’s update marks a huge step forward in this evolution. 

The evolution of the 'digital classroom' has changed the way learners work - and where. Read&Write has evolved as well: from toolbar tweaks to full dictation in Google Slides, our recent Read&Write for Google Chrome update will support you and your learners even better, in more places.

What would you say are the benefits of thinking differently? You might say it brings new ideas to the table, helps to rethink inefficient processes, and identifies patterns other people might miss.
