Hopefully, we’re catching you as you first set up your child’s Chromebook, as parental controls work best when you, the parent, are designated as the owner of the laptop. In fact, any device or application that offers a master account should have a parent assigned, to better able to monitor your child’s activity.

Holding the master account to a device, and designating user accounts for your children, is definitely not foolproof.

Safe browsing settings

While Net Nanny isn't compatible with Chromebooks at this time, parents should know that the best ways to monitor your child’s online activity on Chromebook is to turn off the Guest Browsing feature and to set up dedicated user accounts. Guest Browsing should be disabled because you are unable to look at a guest’s browsing history, and if you have multiple users for your Chromebook, you’ll want to be able to look at an attributable browsing history. Follow the below steps to disable Guest Browsing and set up a user profile for your child:

  1. Turn off Guest Browsing by clicking on your profile in the lower right-hand corner of the home screen.
  2. Select Settings from the drop-down menu.
  3. Scroll down to the People subheading under the Settings menu, and click on the Manage other users button.
  4. Under the Users menu, make sure the box to the left of Enable Guest Browsing is unchecked, and that the box to the left of Enable supervised users is checked. This will ensure that your child’s web activity is monitored and filtered while they use the Chromebook.

Set up supervised users

  1. If you, the parent, are signed into the Chromebook, sign out. If you’ve not yet created any accounts for your Chromebook, go ahead and create your (parent) account now. Chromebook will not allow you to create a Supervised User account until a user is registered to the device.
  2. On the home screen, select Add person on the bottom left side of the screen.
  3. Click the blue Create a supervised user button in the pop-up screen.
  4. Create a username and password for the Supervised User and click Next in the bottom right-hand corner of the popup screen. You will know that you’ve successfully created a Supervised User account when you receive a confirmation email.
  5. Once you’ve set up the Supervised User account, you can manage it from the Supervised User dashboard in Google (search: “Supervised User Dashboard” if you don’t already have the link).
  6. In the dashboard, you can use a blacklist to block specific sites, lock Google SafeSearch, and view the web browsing history; Supervised Users can’t delete their web browsing history.
    It’s important to note that Chromebook and Google’s SafeSearch filtering systems aren’t foolproof. In fact, many parents have expressed concern about SafeSearch and the amount of inappropriate content that still makes it through.

Hands-On with Accessibility Settings

Regardless of your device, it is possible to take advantage of a number of Accessibility Settings. Depending on which device you have, please explore the challenges below.
As you are exploring these challenges, don't forget to make notes in your Workshop Archive!

Contents

  1. 1 iOS Challenges
  2. 2 Chromebook/Chrome Browser Challenges
  3. 3 Mac Specific Challenges

Text-to-Speech

On iPad, anything that is text can be heard! Use the image below to turn on bothSpeak Selection andSpeak Screen. (NOTE: this is for iOS8 devices)

Speak Selection Challenge

  1. Open ANY app that allows you to type (e.g. Notability, Pages, Google Docs, etc.)
  2. Type a few sentences
  3. Tap & Hold to have the text read back out loud to you.

Customizing Reading in Safari

Like most things on iPad, reading online can also be customized to meet individual learner's needs. Use this article by Luis Perez to complete the challenges below:
  1. Tap the Reader button (the little lines in the right side of the omnibar)
  2. Use Find on a Page to locate the reference to VoiceOver
  3. Test out Speak Screen (2-finger swipe down) and Speak Selection - which do you prefer when reading? Why?
  4. Speed up and slow down the speaking rate

Speak Screen & Speak Selection from Luis Perez

Managing the Dictionary

With iPads, any text can also be defined if you tap & hold. Additionally, you can choose which dictionaries students access.
Explore the possibilities with the dictionaries and add any that you think would be of benefit.

Guided Access

On iPad, it is possible for students to 'lock' themselves in a single app (or you can). This could be extremely useful for teaching self-regulation and study skills.


  • Open any app
  • Tap the home-button 3 times to enable Guided Access
  • Tap the home-button 3 times & enter your passcode to disable
  • BONUS: explore the time limit options

Tools to install

With Chromebooks and the Chrome Browser, the following apps and extensions can be installed to support students. Click on each one to install it if you have not already done so.
  • Readability extension
  • Google Dictionary extension
  • SpeakIt extension
  • Read&Write extension
  • Chrome Speak app (can switch languages)
BONUS: if you started using Evernote for workshop archiving, you may also consider using the Clearly extension.

Reading with Chrome

Use this article by Luis Perez and complete the following tasks.
  1. Use CTRL-F/Command-F (Mac) to find the reference to Readability
    (Note that this shortcut works in any Chrome app.)
  2. Highlight some text and then click on SpeakIt to have the text read out loud
    • OPTIONAL - highlight some text and then right-click to have Chrome Speak read the text out loud
  3. Use the Readability extension to get a cleaner version of the article
  4. Double-click on a word and define it with Google Dictionary

Chrome Accessibility Settings from Luis Perez

On a Mac, all of the Chrome Extensions and apps work within the Chrome browser. However, Mac also has a combination of features available in both Chrome and iOS.
  • Speak Selection - similar to on iPad - works on Mac.
  • The Safari browser includes a Reader button as well as the ability to use Command-F to find words on a page.
  • Right-Click or Control-Click on any word to look it up in a dictionary.
  • Go to System Preferences>Accessibility to see what else may be possible!

Speech & Dictation

The video tutorial below from Luis Perez explains how to set up dictation on Mac so that students have access to speech-to-text from within any application or program as well as how to customize text-to-speech.
Open a Text Edit, Word, or Pages document and test out BOTH dictation and text to speech.
