@texthelp has let us know there has been an update where Google Read & Write is now compatible with Chrome OS Version 88 and higher. This should solve some issues where older Chromebooks could not run Read & Write @TILTHRCE @HRCE_StudentSer
@AssistTechHRCE using TD Snap by @TobiiDynavox at @BBMon7 to roll a die and help our friends play Snakes and Ladders!
Recently, Google Read & Write has not been loading on some Chromebooks. R&W's new update requires a Chromebook OS Update. Older devices may not update and may no longer be compatible with R&W as devices age out. Troubleshoot by attempting Chrome OS update! @TILTHRCE

This is an easy way to download these @texthelp extensions! Once you're in the Chrome Web Store, hit "Add to Chrome" then click on the extensions puzzle piece in your browser to pin the extensions you want to appear.
ALT Screenshot of the extensions list in Google Chrome. Text says "Extensions, full access, these extensions can see and change information on this site." Listed are the icons for Equatio - Math made digital, OrbitNote, Read & Write for Google Chrome all with a blue push pin to the right.
Did you know that several of @texthelp resources (i.e Read and Write) are available to all students in Nova Scotia? Now you can easily add the extensions when you look under the "HRCE" section of the GNSPES launch page.
