BCPS Universal Accessible Tools
This handy graphic is the product of a yearlong research and collaboration between our BCPS Director of Special Education, Special Education Coaches, and Digital Learning Coaches. Our district has made a decision to supply all students with Chromebooks. The tools on this graphic are all free in Chrome.

The graphic shows most common uses of each tool and includes links to GIF demonstrations for securing and using the tools. Click here to find the graphic.
