Microsoft has now come up with a new application to help students surge ahead in their reading capabilities. The application is available in Microsoft Teams which has been a platform for business communications like attending online meetings, sharing documents and other such features initially.
Through the new feature students can read aloud, record their voices and can work upon enhancing their reading skills. They can also share their audio and video recordings with the teachers to get feedback. Teachers can track students’ progress and work on their growth through the use of the new application.
Microsoft Teams has been a very significant tool of learning this pandemic as many schools of the government and private sectors used the application for imparting education.The application has been developed with the insight that reading fluently and with grace is an important quality for a student. The new feature would certainly help in enhancing the confidence levels of young learners.
With the new application:
• teachers can alter assignments as per reading level of each student where they can read at their own pace and comfort zones.
• Students can adjust page settings like font size and format for better reading experience.
• They can do audio and video recordings of their reading sessions
