I'm really enjoying adjusting a text my students struggled with to make them more accessible through amplification. 

    I will share the text compactor with colleagues and my before/after amplified texts. 

    Another digital tool I can use with these are Google Docs translate feature to then translate the entirety of the text and provide it in multiple languages for my ML learners.
