Turn Text to Speech With the Voicepods Chrome Extension

When I first tried it and wrote about it Voicepods would only create voice recordings based on text that you wrote. This week Voicepods launched a free Chrome extension that will let you have the text of any webpage read aloud. There are other Chrome extensions that do the same. What makes Voicepods different is that while Voicepods reads the text of webpage it also makes a recording that you can save and playback whenever you want. Watch my demonstration video to see how the Voicepods Chrome extension works. As you can see the video, Voicepods has another new feature. BookSnaps, Passage Snaps, and a Flex-time PD Model.

Team Drives is a shared space where teams can easily store, search, and access their files anywhere, from any device.

Get started with Team Drives

Unlike files in My Drive, files in a Team Drive belong to the team instead of an individual. Even if members leave, the files stay exactly where they are so your team can continue to share information and get work done. If you’re trying to decide whether to add files to a Team Drive or to My Drive, ask yourself these questions: Are the files of interest to most or all members of a particular project team? Do the files share a consistent theme? If you answered "yes" to both of these questions, creating a new Team Drive is a good idea. If the files are for a variety of projects, create multiple Team Drives. Important: Team Drives is only available with the G Suite Enterprise, Business, or Education editions.

FILM YOUR ISSUE: Youth Tell Leaders How We Can Make This World Better. Classroom. Turn your old computers into Chromebooks. After more than two decades in education, one thing I know for sure is that schools hold on to old things.
