Maximize Your Screen with the Dualless Chrome Extension AssistiveTechteam https://padlet.com/AssistiveTechteam/yk5vigionfg7t8f1/wish/1326453154 For those who don’t have dual monitors, maximize your computer screen with the Dualless Chrome Extension ! 
The extension splits your browser windows simulating two screens, allowing you to select the size of each.
Splitting your screen allows you to view your Google Meet or Zoom participants while screen-sharing a second window or presentation.
This is also a great tool for your students. They can type in their Google Doc or view their Google Classroom content, while the second “screen” allows them to view websites for research, online textbooks, etc.]]> 2021-03-18 16:34:29 UTC https://padlet.com/AssistiveTechteam/yk5vigionfg7t8f1/wish/1326453154 Accessible Bitmoji Classrooms AssistiveTechteam https://padlet.com/AssistiveTechteam/yk5vigionfg7t8f1/wish/1326581973 Teachers have gotten very creative with making virtual Bitmoji classrooms & Bitmoji lockers that include interactive elements so students can click through assignments, documents, & websites.
