‘Speak Selection’ – Convenient Text-to-Speech Built Into iOS5 | Free Resources from the Net for EVERY Learner

‘Speak Selection’ – Convenient Text-to-Speech Built Into iOS5 | Free Resources from the Net for EVERY Learner | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it

Speak Selection, a "new feature that I believe will be most helpful to the greatest number of users is Speak Selection. This will read aloud any selected text — in a web article, a text editor, an email, in Twitter, in text messages, or just about anywhere. It isn’t perfect. For example, Speak Selection won’t read in Facebook. Still, I believe this feature of iOS5 will be incredibly helpful to countless people who struggle with text."

Our blog posts, articles, presentations, workshops, and consulting focus on helping educators weave curriculum, pedagogy, and technology into engaging and rigorous learning. We also believe people learn best by doing AND reflecting, both of which are integral to our workshops." (Workshops available at wiki.)
